Introducing a Practical API Maturity Assessment using an OpenAPI example to determine cross-organisational maturity
- Speaker: Adrian Melillo, COO & Co-founder at Excelsa
- Abstract: This presentation introduces an API maturity assessment model that has multiple dimensions to provide both an end-to-end and cross organisational view providing practical advice using an ITIL-based approach. In this session we will explain in more detail how our assessment model can help your organisation start on the right path on your API journey or drive additional value from existing APIs with advice across people, process and technology. We will do this by referencing some specific examples of evaluating how organisations implement standards, and specifically OpenAPI, to provide best practice across each of these pillars.
OpenAPI for Code & Docs Generation: Lessons from 1 Million API Definitions
- Speaker: Sohaib Tariq, Product Manager at APIMatic
- Abstract: OpenAPI-based Code Generation has become Ubiquitous. You can take your pick of Opensource or Proprietary tools that require only your OpenAPI Definition to generate API Clients and Reference Documentation. However, OpenAPI and other popular API specification formats do not enforce any standards for Code Generation. Thus we often see Code Generators creating ugly or downright unusable code for API Definitions that are Syntactically and Semantically correct. This talk will draw upon the learnings from analyzing over 1 million API Definitions in various formats, predominantly OpenAPI/Swagger. It will highlight common mistakes made by Developers which are not typically highlighted by OpenAPI Validation and Linting tools but can negatively impact the quality of generated Code and Documentation. The talk will emphasize how the right validation and linting process can help you overcome all of these issues efficiently in order to help you build a world-class Developer Experience for your API.

- Speaker: Madhu Sudan Jangid, Fractional CTO at Mission Plus
- Abstract: How API Gateways can be used to enhance security postures of an Organization. The decision factors of choosing a right Gateway tool for different use cases. Different design patterns and how the limitations can be solved for the said patterns.
