API Days Paris 2024

Event: API Days Paris

Date: December 2-5, 2024

Venue: CNIT la Défense, Paris, France

Overview

apidays Paris is the flagship conference from the apidays family, and this year returns with the title “The Future API Stack for Mass Innovation”. As the conference title suggests, the agenda will provide perspectives on how APIs and related technologies will supercharge the growth of organizations through technology innovation.

apidays Paris has much to offer with many different topics on offer. AI is a hot topic, with much to say on the role of AI in API development and the symbiosis between AI and APIs. However, the agenda also covers architectures such as cloud-native, advanced API lifecycle management and API governance, and the role of APIs in green technology. Whatever your role or interests, apidays Paris offers the opportunity to dive into a wealth of API knowledge, in the company of many subject matter experts, with subjects including:

  • API Lifecycle Management, API description languages (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSONSchema) API Security, API Design and Documentation
  • Cloud Native Infrastructure (Containers, Kubernetes, Ingress, Istio, etc)
  • GenAI (OpenAI, Claude AI, Mistral AI), Open Source ML, Prompt Engineering, and Prompt Security
  • GreenIT and GreenOps within the GreenIO conference (colocated with apidays)
  • No-Code and Citizens Developers within the Enterprise No-Code Conference (colocated with apidays)

The variety and breadth of topics offered at apidays Paris are matched by how far OpenAPI reaches into the API ecosystem. OpenAPI has become the de facto API description language for API providers and is critically important for delivering high-quality and well-described APIs. Regardless of your chosen subject area, providing or consuming OpenAPI descriptions is vital to how you work with APIs.

The OAI track returns to apidays Paris for a second year. Knowledge of OpenAPI and our new specification Arazzo is a must-have for IT and business leaders who seek to drive their organizations forward through AI and APIs. Join us to learn more about how OpenAPI can provide you and your organization with a strategic advantage in adopting AI and how you manage your APIs throughout the entire API lifecycle.

Registration and Participation

The OAI Track is an integral part of API Days Paris 2024. Attendees have to register through the registration page of API Days Paris 2024

OAI Full-day Workshops, December 2, 2024

  • Introduction to OpenAPI: Understanding and Using OpenAPI in Practice (Thomas Bayer): OpenAPI has become essential for the design, documentation, and seamless integration of APIs, providing a standardized description language that enhances collaboration. This course covers the core principles and practical use of OpenAPI, empowering you to explore, create, and integrate OpenAPI descriptions confidently in your design, development, management, and governance workflows.

  • Designing APIs with OpenAPI: Build the Right APIs the Right Way (Mike Amundsen): In this workshop, join industry expert Mike Amundsen for an in-depth, hands-on exploration of API design using the OpenAPI Specification. This workshop will cover core principles and modern techniques for designing effective, scalable APIs that meet real-world needs. Participants will learn how to leverage the OpenAPI Specification to create clear, reusable, and maintainable API contracts that drive efficient development and robust client-server interactions.

  • API Delivery with OpenAPI: Enhancing Governance, Workflows, and Developer Experience (Frank Kilcommins & Yousaf Nabi): Join this workshop to explore a collaborative, design-first approach to API delivery, using OpenAPI as the single source of truth. Set within a financial payments scenario, this session covers everything from defining business requirements and infusing API standards awareness through example mapping, to ensuring seamless integration and consumer testing for safe API evolution. Attendees will learn how OpenAPI and Arazzo can drive documentation, virtualization, and contract testing to streamline API evolution, enhance governance, and elevate developer and consumer experiences.
