This week on the API Intersection podcast, we chatted with Ryan Clifford, API Product Lead, and Matthew Forrest, API Product Manager, at Fiserv. Fiserv is a Fortune 500 fintech company with around 40,000 people across the globe and an API team of 20 that focuses on enabling money movement for thousands of financial institutions and millions of businesses. Full disclosure, they also are a Stoplight customer, so stay tuned for more details about their success in an upcoming case study
Trying to juggle a massive company alongside a transforming industry and many APIs isn't easy. But luckily for other enterprise-level API teams, Matt and Ryan have some great advice on what to keep in mind when running an API program at this scale.

Building a successful API requires more than just coding.
It starts with collaborative design, focuses on creating a great developer experience, and ends with getting your company on board, maintaining consistency, and maximizing your API’s profitability.
In the API Intersection, you’ll learn from experienced API practitioners who transformed their organizations, and get tangible advice to build quality APIs with collaborative API-first design.
Jason Harmon brings over a decade of industry-recognized REST API experience to discuss topics around API design, governance, identity/auth versioning, and more.
They’ll answer listener questions, and discuss best practices on API design (definition, modeling, grammar), Governance (multi-team design, reviewing new API’s), Platform Transformation (culture, internal education, versioning) and more.
They’ll also chat with experienced API practitioners from a wide array of industries to draw out practical takeaways and insights you can use.
