Deliver a Great Developer Experience (DX) as Part of an Effective API Strategy
Overview
Designing a great enterprise API is not easy. Exposing an interface is relatively simple but API designers have a great deal more to think about – business models, process context, transactional integrity, privacy concerns, data ownership… the list goes on.
For enterprise API designers, a clear focus on developer experience (DX) is often the best way to get things moving in the right direction. Creating an API that developers love to use will produce a wealth of benefits for any API program, such as:
Increasing API adoption rates
Reducing implementation costs
Ensuring the program is aligned with core business goals
Join this webinar with Ronnie Mitra of Layer 7 and guest speaker Randy Heffner of Forrester Research, Inc. to get practical tips on building APIs that will provide a great DX and truly contribute to your organization’s business success.
You Will Learn
What the term “well-designed API” means, in practical terms
Why developer experience matters and how it aligns with business goals
How to make rational design choices that will improve DX
