APIs are the backbone of modern software. Embracing an API-first approach helps us build scalable, maintainable, and developer-friendly applications.
In this talk we’ll explore the key advantages of API-first design and how it drives developer productivity, fosters cross-team collaboration, and future-proofs your backend architecture.
We’ll dive into TypeSpec, Microsoft’s powerful open-source tool, and demonstrate how it empowers developers to focus on creating reliable and high-performing APIs by simplifying API design, generating schemas, API specifications, client/server code and docs.
Key Takeaways:
1. Key principles and benefits of API-first design for scalable and maintainable systems.
2. Understanding working with TypeSpec, its syntax and features.
3. Enhancing productivity by automating API specification, code generation and validations with TypeSpec.
