Keynote: Your API Spec Isn’t Worth the Paper It’s Written On - Gareth Jones, API Architect, Microsoft Corp.

I’m provoking you with my title. The API definition wars are over. We’re all in OAS seventh heaven. We’re complacent.

But why were we establishing specs in the first place? We want to make our customers happy by NOT FREAKING BREAKING THEM right?

But we still hear that we are? So what are we missing?
I’ll talk about a basket of ways you can break your customers whilst still adhering to your API spec perfectly.

Attendees will leave very worried that they may have broken their customers and just maybe equipped and determined not to do so again.
