APIs are more relevant than ever
Bill Doerrfeld | November 15, 2023
My opening keynote from the Platform Summit 2023 looks at the role APIs play in shaping our daily lives. It's now published on YouTube.
APIs are increasingly in the public consciousness. In this keynote, I examine the role web APIs continue to play in the lives of both end users and software developers. From social media to generative AI, I briefly explore ome areas where APIs currently have the most impact. Whether you are a high-level architect or ground-floor engineer, this talk should provide helpful takeaways and inspire you to keep chugging along with your API-first platform designs.
