API Intersection

In our latest podcast episode, we spoke with Aleksei Akimov, Head of API at Adyen. He talks about pushing for a design-first, high-collaboration style approach. He also speaks on how API review is not done in a vacuum. Rather, it should include a variety of opinions from people in different positions. Finally, Aleksei suggests using automated style guides to sift out the boring stuff, allowing for discussion on bigger topics, for example, how customer-centric is your API?

What is API Intersection?

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.
