Four Suspects, One Broken API: An API Crime Scene Investigation

A Payments API just failed in production. Checkout failures spike dramatically. Downstream services go down. The team rolls back and finds the API definition never changed.

So what actually broke it? 

Four Suspects, One Broken API puts you in the investigation seat. We’ll pull apart a real (deliberately broken) API clue by clue and show exactly how it shipped past a fully green CI pipeline. 

Along the way, you’ll get straight answers to the four questions every API team should be able to answer and see exactly where each one gets checked, live: 

• Is this API designed correctly? 
• Can consumers find and understand it? 
• Does the implementation match the contract? 
• Does the API actually work? 

This isn’t a just another webinar. You’ll vote on who you think the culprit is at each clue, before we reveal it and walk away with a framework for diagnosing your own team’s weakest link in the API lifecycle. 

Who should attend 

• API architects and engineering leads responsible for API quality, breaking-change prevention, and documentation accuracy across teams. 
• Senior API developers, platform engineers, and QA engineers working with APIs, contract testing, or CI/CD pipelines. 

What you’ll walk away with 

• A four-question framework for diagnosing exactly where your own API lifecycle is weakest 
• The concrete difference between contract testing (does it conform?) and functional testing (does it actually work?) and why teams that only do one keep getting surprised 

A live look at closing each gap in one continuous workflow.
