Light weight API Governance: The key component to enable platform engineering in 2024
When done well, API governance can improve developer’s experience by making it easier to build products and workflows with existing APIs, and speed up development when creating new APIs. But when done poorly, API governance creates bottlenecks and added bureaucracy that takes developers out of their flow. As organization’s move towards platform engineering approaches that incorporate team reorientation, internal developer portals, paved roads/golden paths approaches and style guides and templates. By getting API governance right, organizations can more easily adopt a full suite of platform engineering approaches that create an enjoyable, flow-focused developer approach to creating and consuming APIs. This presentation focuses on sharing learnings from introducing lightweight API governance processes with businesses and an international multilateral organisation.

API Strategy: Why it didn't work?
Defining API Strategy is supposed to be a MUST HAVE for a company that wants to succeed in their API Program, but it becomes a NICE TO HAVE for them, it is a choice… or a lack of guidance…
how to define the API Strategy that suits to your organization:
- know where we want to go (short, medium, long term)
- involve the right people
- have the right tools

Building high-performance API platform teams
You are an API product manager, architect, director of engineering, or CTO in charge of your organisation’s API program. You need to launch or dramatically improve the speed and quality of the program and address Day 2 concerns, such as API change management. But where do you begin? On the one hand, many API tool vendors promise that adopting their tool suite will solve your problems. On the other hand, you are presented with many nice-looking API platform maturity models that do not offer you a clear path to improvement, given your organisation’s unique situation.
In this talk, I present an operating and capability model for high-quality, high-speed API product delivery to help you dramatically improve your organisation’s API program.

DevOps and the API Lifecycle: How to use APIOps for Design, Implementation & Security
Maintaining API quality and consistency over time can be challenging. New APIs are developed, and existing ones are constantly modified. DevOps practices can be applied throughout the entire API lifecycle to maintain quality and security. This session presents an alternative to Full API Lifecycle Management products using a DevOps perspective with available tools like git and CI/CD pipelines. Participants will learn how to use pipelines to automate the API lifecycle, organize APIs and artifacts, and use tools to validate APIs for quality, backward compatibility and guidelines, and how to enforce security policies in design and production. Join the session and learn how to apply DevOps principles to APIs.
With Thomas Bayer | 14:30-15:15 CET
API Governance Strategy? How to?
The session aims to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools to establish a robust API Governance Strategy. We’ll delve into the concept of API Governance, exploring its importance in creating a reliable and secure API landscape. Gain practical tips for building a framework that fosters collaboration and maximizes the value of your APIs.
The agenda dives deep into the API Design Guide, ensuring consistency across your API portfolio. Additionally, we’ll shed light on effective governance workflows, outlining the who, what, and how of successful API management.
With David Roldán Martínez | 15:45-16:30 CET
