VP Developer Relations

Other signals you may not need SDKs
● You are still proving the value of your API
● You only plan to service a handful of developers
● You don’t have many endpoints and simple data structures.
● You don’t have strong competitors
● Your offering is so compelling developers are willing to put in extra effort.
● Target users don’t use SDKs (10x engineers or low code/no code)

Getting Started

Stripe’s server-side helper libraries (also
known as server-side SDKs) reduce the
amount of work required to use Stripe’s
REST APIs, starting with reducing the
boilerplate code you have to write.
❝
❞

Over 50% of support inquires were
authentication related
Our forums ﬁlled with developers sharing
code snippets and trying to help each
other.
More API wrappers built by community
and shared on GitHub - but they weren’t
well maintained.
Headaches all around

Signals we needed SDKs
● Time to ﬁrst Hello World is subpar
● High support burden
● Developers asking for examples in different languages
● Community building their own libraries
● Key accounts are asking for SDKs
● Your competition have SDKs and offer a superior DX

SDKs that are easy to use
● Implement a REST-agnostic design
● Design Consistent SDKs
SDKs that come with docs
● Create SDK speciﬁc documentation
● Provide Sample Code

SDKs that match the API
● Ensure API Coverage
● Provide End-to-End Typing
SDKs that work
● Create a Test Suite
● Share Test Coverage Reports

SDKs that are robust
● Transient Error Policy

A presentation given by Todd Kerpelman, Developer Advocate at Plaid, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13. Session Description: Have you ever thought about building your own chatbot to help developers be more successful using your APIs? Well, we made one for Plaid’s documentation site, and in this talk, I’ll cover some of the things we learned! This presentation will cover topics like: – How does it work? What does it mean to “train” a bot on your docs? – Setting appropriate expectations: Do you still need to write documentation? Do you still need a support team? – The trade-offs around building your own vs. buying a 3rd party solution – Some decisions around the underlying tech – How to build a decent “conversational mode” so you can ask follow-up questions – How you evaluate the quality of a chatbot, and some surprises we ecountered along the way – What do you do when things go wrong? – Security considerations And much more! Actually, probably not that much more. That already sounds like a lot.

A presentation given by David Biesack, Chief API Officer at Apiture, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13. Session Description: API Design is truly an art. While ChatGPT can spit out seemingly detailed APIs, there is still much to be said for well-crafted, consistent APIs designed by organic intelligence, in a broader context, with the consumer and Developer Experience in mind. A good (or dare we dream, great) Developer Experience (DX) is an important aspect of API design and the success of your API program. Attendees will grok the interplay of API design, patterns, and language constraints and limitations. See how and why artful API Design Matters to DX and "good" API outcomes, and why fluency in the myriad languages of APIs matters. Learn how choosing guiding principles can shape all your APIs for success. Learn how to stay relevant as an API designer when the API generating robots are breathing down your neck.

A presentation given by David Brossard, CTO at Axiomatics, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13. Session Description: So you've just built your cool new API and figured out the authentication part. You're even using OAuth for access delegation, scopes, and claims. So, you're good, right? Well what about fine-grained authorization? What about OWASP's #1 security threat, broken access control? How do you handle that? Maybe you need an authorization framework to help with that. But which one? Is ABAC the way to go? Policies? Graphs? In this presentation, we'll give you the tools to understand what authorization for APIs entails, what options you have, and how to successfully implement a secure authorization strategy for your APIs. We will cover approaches such as ALFA, ReBAC, and Zanzibar and illustrate with a live demo.

A presentation given by Budhaditya Bhattacharya, Developer Advocate at Tyk, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13. Session Description: APIs and microservices are powering domain-driven design architectures and have become the fabric of modern cloud-native applications. However, focusing on technology isn't enough - there is a need for a synergy between people, processes, and tools. Based on the CNCF platform maturity model, we will look to bridge the gap between an org's current and desired platform maturity level when creating cloud-native API platforms. We'll discuss: 1. The platform team model - team topologies and key roles for developing internal API platforms 2. Processes like platform discovery, jobs-to-be-done analysis, and continuous feedback loops to understand and meet developer needs 3. Applying a "platform as a product" mindset to measure and communicate platform success 4. Architecting for discoverability, security, observability and integration capabilities 5. The role of technologies like service meshes, API gateway, identity management, internal developer portals and OpenAPI specifications

A presentation given by Gareth Jones, API Architect at Microsoft, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13. Session Description: Didn't the API description wars end in 2017 when we all agreed that OAS was the way forward? Yes, and yet how satisfied with your API descriptions are you? Are they thousands of lines of hard to read yaml or JSON? When someone makes a change, is it easy to review for correctness and completeness? Do visual tools make this easier? Do they support change management? I'll make the case that the next generation of more abstract DSLs for defining APIs such as Smithy from Amazon and TypeSpec, open sourced by Microsoft, move us back to a more intentional approach to design and give us the opportunity to highlight the business characteristics that matter most at design-time.

A presentation given by Adrienne Moherek, Developer Experience Technical Leader, Cisco, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13. Session Description: Heard of suss? You can suss out more information or you can find someone’s information to be suss. “Suss” shows the flexibility of language. It’s an ongoing process to change how we use certain words. It’s important to choose words carefully to convey the correct meaning and avoid harmful subtext or exclusion. Let’s explore some of the tools and triage methods that it takes from an engineering viewpoint to make bias-free choices. How can you ensure that biased words do not sneak into code, UI, docs, configurations, or our everyday language? First, let’s walk through how to take an inventory of assets from code to config files to API specifications to standards. Next, by placing those findings into categories, prioritize the work to substitute with inclusive alternatives. Let’s examine some examples using both API and code assets. Next is a demonstration of how to automate analyzing your source code or documentation with a linter, looking for patterns based on rules that are fed into the tool. What’s in the future for these efforts? Inclusive language should expand beyond English and North America efforts. To do so, let’s organize the work with automation tooling, as engineers do.

A presentation given by Bill Doerrfeld, Editor in Chief of Nordic APIs, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13. Session Description: As it turns out, making a hit API is a lot like making a hit music album. You have to find a niche, you need good naming, and you need quality content. Also, on the production side, design, style, experience, and collaboration all matter a lot. At the end of the day, both are products, requiring the right management tools, marketing know-how, and infrastructure to scale. In this SXSW-inspired opening keynote, I'll look into the parallels between the two endeavors, providing a fun and informative look into specific things API providers should be considering on their journey toward becoming API platform rockstars.

A presentation given by Paul Dumas, Senior Director Analyst at Gartner, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13. Session Description: GenAI will be, well, generating APIs. We are entering the era where software creates software. It will develop APIs faster than humans are capable of. Humans cannot compete with this compute power. How do we marshal this power, govern what it produces, and leverage it to support our business objectives and strategies? We will become more dependent on the capabilities we have as humans that elude machines. This talk provides insight to software leaders about the challenges of leading and managing this new software development power. The key lies in skills that are unique to humans: foresight, intuition, and agility.

A presentation given by Joe Furbee, Developer Advocate and Developers Communities Manager at SAS Institute, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13. Session Description: Sure, we could have hired someone to (re)create our developer portal, developer.sas.com. However, we wanted the freedom to build our portal from the ground up. But, it takes more than an API architect and a developer advocate to create a modern, interactive developer experience. This session provides an overview of the steps we took to relaunch the SAS AI and analytics platform developer portal. Who was involved? How did we accomplish what we wanted to build? We’ll explore the stakeholders involved, the importance of open-source technologies, and why focusing on the developer’s perspective matters. This is not a marketing pitch to promote SAS services. Instead, it’s a detailed look at the process we followed to deploy our new developer portal.

The microservices honeymoon is over. When starting a new project or revamping a legacy monolith, teams started looking for alternatives to microservices. The Modular Monolith, or 'Modulith', is an architecture that reaps the benefits of (vertical) functional decoupling without the high costs associated with separate deployments. This talk will delve into the advantages and challenges of this progressive architecture, beginning with exploring the concept of a 'module', its internal structure, public API, and inter-module communication patterns. Supported by spring-modulith, the talk provides practical guidance on addressing the main challenges of a Modultith Architecture: finding and guarding module boundaries, data decoupling, and integration module-testing. You should not miss this talk if you are a software architect or tech lead seeking practical, scalable solutions. About the author With two decades of experience, Victor is a Java Champion working as a trainer for top companies in Europe. Five thousands developers in 120 companies attended his workshops, so he gets to debate every week the challenges that various projects struggle with.

The integration landscape is changing rapidly with the introduction of technologies like GraphQL, gRPC, stream processing, iPaaS, and platformless. However, not all existing applications and industries can keep up with these new technologies. Certain industries, like manufacturing, logistics, and finance, still rely on well-established EDI-based message formats. Some applications use XML or CSV with file-based communications, while others have strict on premises deployment requirements. This talk focuses on how Ballerina's built-in integration capabilities can bridge the gap between "old" and "new" technologies, modernizing enterprise applications without disrupting business operations.

Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is the most popular style of large language model application to emerge from 2023.

This is just the beginning. One of the ways that we can extend RAG, and extend AI, is through multilingual use cases. Typical RAG is done in English using embedding models that are trained in English. In this talk, we’ll explore how RAG could work in languages other than English. We’ll explore French, Chinese, and Polish.

In today's digital world, trust is key to customer relationships, but keeping it is a huge challenge. Customers are well-informed and empowered, quick to change brands if their trust is broken, even if it costs them more. This puts a lot of pressure on organizations to handle trust and safety issues with great care and transparency. The challenge, however, is real. Fragmented solutions have left privacy, legal, and security teams in a perpetual cycle of catch-up, struggling to update privacy notices, manage customer data rights, and answer lengthy security questionnaires—all while trying to prove ROI to the business. It's a thankless job, filled with repetition, tedious tasks, and constant interdepartmental coordination. Combine this with fast regulatory changes and the quick evolution of AI, and it becomes overwhelming. Join this webinar to learn more about TrustArc's new innovative solution Trust Center, the only unified, no-code online hub for trust and safety information built for privacy, security, compliance, and legal teams. Trust Center streamlines your path to compliance, shortens the pre-sales cycle, and reduces both legal and regulatory risks, saving time, effort, and cost. This webinar will review: - Why companies are building unified Trust Centers for a robust privacy program. - How unified Trust Centers streamline sales cycles, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce operational bottlenecks. - How compliance, legal, security, GRC, and privacy teams benefit from a unified Trust Center in terms of needs, pains, and outcomes. - How TrustArc Trust Center saves time and work while reducing legal, reputational, and compliance risk by effectively managing policies, notices, terms, and disclosures, and providing real-time updates on subprocessors.

You Don't Need SDKs, Wait Maybe You Do?

1. You don’t need SDKs, wait maybe you do! Sid Maestre APIMatic VP Developer Relations

4. The Truth

5. … another Truth

8. Other signals you may not need SDKs ● You are still proving the value of your API ● You only plan to service a handful of developers ● You don’t have many endpoints and simple data structures. ● You don’t have strong competitors ● Your offering is so compelling developers are willing to put in extra effort. ● Target users don’t use SDKs (10x engineers or low code/no code)

9. … wait, what about

10.

11. Section Title | #

12. … what is an SDK?

13. Code Samples Code Library Use Case Guides SDK Reference Sample App Getting Started

14. … why do developers want SDKs?

15. Stripe’s server-side helper libraries (also known as server-side SDKs) reduce the amount of work required to use Stripe’s REST APIs, starting with reducing the boilerplate code you have to write. ❝ ❞

16. reduce complexity

17.

18. OpenID and JWTs

19. Multipart MIME

20. API changes

21. Package managers

22. state of “ﬂow”

23. Inline docs, hinting, code completion

24.

25.

26. API (w)rappers

27. Over 50% of support inquires were authentication related Our forums ﬁlled with developers sharing code snippets and trying to help each other. More API wrappers built by community and shared on GitHub - but they weren’t well maintained. Headaches all around

28.

29.

30. Signals we needed SDKs ● Time to ﬁrst Hello World is subpar ● High support burden ● Developers asking for examples in different languages ● Community building their own libraries ● Key accounts are asking for SDKs ● Your competition have SDKs and offer a superior DX

31. Photo by Daniel Cartin on Unsplash

32. Where to start today?

33.

34. What make a “good” SDK?

35. SDKs that are easy to use ● Implement a REST-agnostic design ● Design Consistent SDKs SDKs that come with docs ● Create SDK speciﬁc documentation ● Provide Sample Code

36. SDKs that match the API ● Ensure API Coverage ● Provide End-to-End Typing SDKs that work ● Create a Test Suite ● Share Test Coverage Reports

37. SDKs that are robust ● Transient Error Policy ● API Error Policy SDKs that receive updates ● Timely API Updates ● Security & Maintenance Updates

38. SDKs that have support ● Handle support tickets ● Engage with the community

39. Who’s gonna build your SDK program

40. ● Architect or Program Lead ● Developers to create the SDKs in each language ● Content writers to create documentation ● Support staff who handle support tickets ● Developer(s) who owns SDK updates when API changes, language changes, bug ﬁxes, and dependency updates ● Developer Relations team or person to engage with the community on SDK and API roadmap and their experience

41. Ways to Build SDKs ● Homegrown or Handwritten ● Open source code generators ● Commercial code generators

42. Recap ● SDKs are more than code libraries ● SDKs reduce boilerplate code, complexity, help with change management and developer achieve “ﬂow” ● Every API doesn’t need SDKs ● Signals to watch for that you might need SDKs ● Establish what a good SDK means for your community ● Use your criteria to evaluate ways to build SDKs.
