From Design to Deployment: API Workflows for DevOps Success

Most organizations aren't Stripe or Twilio—APIs aren't their core product. Yet in today's connected landscape, becoming API-capable is no longer optional. The good news? You don't need a complete architectural overhaul or a flashy API portal to unlock the value of APIs. What you need is a pragmatic approach that meets you where you are and integrates seamlessly into your existing development workflows.

In this hands-on session, we'll demonstrate practical strategies for organizations that want to enhance their API capabilities without disrupting their traditional business model. We'll show you how to leverage Swagger tools throughout your CI/CD pipeline to achieve API excellence incrementally.

Whether you're retrofitting APIs onto legacy systems, managing a mixed SOAP-to-REST migration, or simply trying to understand what APIs you actually have, this session will demonstrate how to:

What You'll Learn: 

• Design with Governance in Mind: Use Swagger Design and Spectral rules to establish and enforce API standards across teams, ensuring consistency even as you scale your API footprint
• Prevent Breaking Changes: Implement contract testing that validates API definitions against your codebase, catching breaking changes before they reach production and protecting your partner integrations
• Automate Functional Testing: Deploy Swagger Functional Testing within your pipeline to verify API behavior continuously, reducing manual QA overhead and increasing deployment confidence 
• Documentation as Code: Ensure that your API portal is always up-to-date with any changes to API implementation
