The #1 API Strategy Mistake Large Organizations Make (And How to Fix It)
In large organizations, product teams often build secure, scalable, and available APIs, aiming for discoverability and consistency. However, teams usually work in silos, solving the same problems repeatedly and creating custom implementations that don’t scale. This approach wastes valuable resources and makes it harder for other teams to find and use these APIs. It leads to an inconsistent experience across the organization, with different API types, multiple developer portals, and mismatched request/response structures—all lacking unified governance.
In this session, we’ll show how large organizations can use OpenAPI Spec-driven development to create a consistent, collaborative, and efficient API architecture. We’ll share real-world examples of how an API-first strategy reduces redundancy, simplifies discovery, and strengthens the API ecosystem. Whether you're an API architect, developer, or product leader, you’ll leave with practical steps to improve your API landscape.
After our session, you’ll have a clear understanding of:
1. How to use OpenAPI Spec to create consistent, discoverable, and well-integrated APIs across teams.
2. The importance of reusable tools in building secure, scalable, and coherent APIs that drive efficiency.
3. How reusable services reduce duplicated efforts, freeing your teams to focus on delivering innovative, high-value APIs.
How Robust APIs Win in a Competitive Market
With today’s tools, creating APIs has become a streamlined process—just write the API contract and generate the rest. Yet, despite similar backend functionalities, some APIs stand out and are preferred by users over others. One critical differentiator is API resiliency: the ability to stay functional and dependable when faced with failures or unexpected conditions.
In this session, we’ll dive into proven strategies for designing resilient APIs and examine common issues that arise with different resiliency approaches. By understanding these patterns and their potential pitfalls, developers can ensure their APIs are built not just for functionality but for long-term success in real-world environments.
After attending this session, attendees will walk away knowing -
1. Understanding API resiliency and its importance.
2. Why resiliency is key to API success.
3. Common resiliency strategies and their challenges.
