Modern applications rely on well-designed, secure, and scalable web APIs. However, being successful across the lifecycle of web API design to operations can be challenging and time-consuming.

In this session, you'll learn how to design, build, document, secure, deploy, and operate high-quality APIs using .NET 10, OpenAPI, and Azure's API platform. We'll explore API-first design principles, walk through the newest .NET 10 capabilities for Minimal APIs and controllers, and show how to integrate your APIs with Azure services like API Management, App Service, Entra ID, and Azure Monitor. You'll also see how to use OpenAPI to drive consistency, automate client generation, and enforce contracts across teams.

Whether you're modernizing legacy APIs or building new cloud-native microservices, you'll walk away with practical patterns, tooling insights, and demos to help you deliver robust, secure, and future-ready APIs.
