This session focuses on accelerating development velocity using Generative AI tooling. In this session, we will use various AI tools to aid with API design, development / code generation, APIs unit/integration testing, and observability. We’ll outline various stages in API development lifecycle, and highlight practical examples of automated help using Microsoft Copilot with GPT 5 and Cursor AI with Claude Sonnet. We’ll cover generating refined API specs, developer documentation, data contracts and general API service scaffolding, unit and integration test code, and injecting observability hooks to establish granular alerts and dashboards
