Building for Builders: Designing APIs for the Internet Economy
As developers building the apps, services, and commerce experiences that power the modern world, we have an increasingly significant and direct impact on the global economy. Yet far too often, the limiting factor isn’t our own creativity or execution—it’s the quality of the software tools and APIs available to us. This is especially true in Europe, where talented developers building an online business have to consider how to operate across the continent, serving customers in multiple markets, languages, and regulatory landscapes.
Romain Huet will talk about Stripe’s approach to empowering developers globally through careful API design and technical tooling. He’ll focus on Stripe’s infrastructure for building marketplaces and supporting payment methods around the world, and how it allows developers to streamline their payments- and commerce-related work and instead focus on building delightful experiences for their end users.
Romain will do some live coding to build a platform and immediately take it to a global scale, covering best practices for providing a modern checkout experiences across a range of countries and payment methods, including how Stripe has embraced new web standards such as the Payment Request API. With new requirements for marketplaces and payments methods emerging every day, he’ll describe our efforts behind creating Stripe Connect and Stripe’s Sources API to minimize the work required to reach customers across the globe.
Join Romain Huet as he discusses how the API economy and great tooling and experiences can help increase the leverage of developers around the world.
Romain’s session is for both entrepreneurs and developers who want to understand the underpinnings and future of developer tools, and how to increase the leverage of developers around the world.
