Why Do We Break APIs? First Answers from Developers

•

0 likes•317 views

Breaking contracts have a major impact on API clients. Despite this fact, recent studies show that libraries are often backward incompatible and that the rate of breaking changes increase over time. However, the specific reasons that motivate library developers to break contracts with their clients are still unclear. In this paper, we describe a qualitative study with library developers and real instance of API breaking changes. Our goal is to (i) elicit the reasons why developers introduce breaking changes; and (ii) check if they are aware about the risks of such changes. Our survey with the top contributors of popular Java libraries contributes to reveal a list of five reasons why developers break API contracts. Moreover, it also shows that most of developers are aware of these risks and, in some cases, adopt strategies to mitigate them. We conclude by prospecting a future study to strengthen our current findings. With this study, we expect to contribute on delineating tools to better assess the risks and impacts of API breaking changes.

It’s no secret that open source components form the backbone of today’s software, comprising between 60-80% of modern applications. But with this, comes the alarming rise in open source vulnerabilities – more than 3,500 open source vulnerabilities were reported in 2017 – that’s 60% higher than the previous year, and the trend continued in 2018. The question arises: how can DevOps teams ensure a visible and continuous delivery pipeline for software releases without letting security slow them down? Join WhiteSource’s Product Manager, Shiri Ivtsan, as she discusses: - The current state of open source vulnerabilities management; - The latest innovations in the open source security world; and - The best DevOps tools to protect organizations against open source vulnerabilities and ensure agility, visibility and control regarding their open source.

The DevOps Challenge: Open Source Security at Scale

Mandy Whaley, CISCO Microservices create an explosion of internal and external APIs. These APIs need great docs. Many organizations end up with a jungle of wiki pages, swagger docs and api consoles, and maybe just a few secret documents trapped in chat room somewhere… Keeping docs updated and in sync with code can be a challenge. We’ve been working on a project at Cisco DevNet to help solve this problem for engineering teams across Cisco. The goal is to create a forward looking developer and API doc publishing pipeline that: Has a developer friendly editing flow Accepts many API spec formats (Swagger, RAML, etc) Supports long form documentation in markdown Is CI/CD pipeline friendly so that code and docs stay in sync Flexible enough to be used by a wide scope of teams and technologies We have many interesting lessons learned about tooling and how to solve documentation challenges for internal and external facing APIs. We have found that solving this doc publishing flow is a key component of a building modern infrastructure. This is most definitely a culture + tech + ops + dev story, we look forward to sharing with the DevOps Days community.

DevOps cannot be achieved without considering many different aspects of software quality, including security. The term DevSecOps was developed to highlight that security was being focused on as part of the pipeline, not a second-class citizen. Fortunately, DevOps and continuous delivery practices give us opportunities to add different types of security testing to our pipeline so that security can be part of our definition of done. Continuous integration can invoke static analysis tools to test for simple security errors and check if components with known vulnerabilities are being used. Automated deployments and virtualization make dynamic environments available for testing in a production-like setting. Regression test suites can be used to drive traffic through proxies for security analysis. From the code to the systems where the software is being deployed, the process can make sure that security best practices are followed and insecure software is not being produced. Gene will talk about how to construct a definition of done that focuses on security along with other types of quality in a DevOps pipeline. He will discuss how to define security practices and criteria that are appropriate for our teams and our projects to be confident that we are doing DevSecOps, and how those practices and criteria might mature over time.

This is a short preview of a talk I will giving at Agile Testing Days 2014 The rise of Distributed Version Control Systems with good merge support has rehabilitated Feature Branches with many Open Source projects (OSS) receiving contributions as Pull Requests. Feature Branching is a technique where developers do all their changes separate from the mainline of code. Next they open a Pull Request to have their code merged into the mainline after being peer reviewed. This OSS popularity for Pull requests with Git and Mercurial has been transferring to commercial projects, with many teams now adopting it internally. SCM is seen as a Developer centric domain but testers have a lot to gain. This presentation will cover an introduction to Pull Requests and demonstrate how to identify key information that can be used to as inputs to different testing techniques. While not a direct substitute for pairing with a developer, pull requests represent an opportunity to review the code, automated testing and learn from the developers by asking questions. As each Pull Request represents a single User Story this information can help limit the scope of Exploratory based testing sessions and be utilized to further understand the risk of the changes to the system.

During last several years DevOps became strong buzzword used almost in every project, team and company. But almost everywhere it is used in very funny and strange context. For example, existing ops guys are renamed to DevOps just to sell them to the client for more money. Or DevOps is used as new job title for some magically powerful person who is able to operate cloud environment and modern infrastructure related tools, leading team of old school ops and participating in management meetings. In this talk I’m going to review all different anti-patterns and bad practices in DevOps landscape using stories from my personal experience as Delivery Manager and independent consultant.

Change is a routine in software development. Like any system, libraries also evolve over time. As a consequence, clients are compelled to update and, thus, benefit from the available API improvements. However, some of these API changes may break contracts previously established, resulting in compilation errors and behavioral changes. In this paper, we study a set of questions regarding API breaking changes. Our goal is to measure the amount of breaking changes on real-world libraries and its impact on clients at a large-scale level. We assess (i) the frequency of breaking changes, (ii) the behavior of these changes over time, (iii) the impact on clients, and (iv) the characteristics of libraries with high frequency of breaking changes. Our large-scale analysis on 317 real-world Java libraries, 9K releases, and 260K client applications shows that (i) 14.78% of the API changes break compatibility with previous versions, (ii) the frequency of breaking changes increases over time, (iii) 2.54% of their clients are impacted, and (iv) systems with higher frequency of breaking changes are larger, more popular, and more active. Based on these results, we provide a set of lessons to better support library and client developers in their maintenance tasks.

This slide deck is basically an extended and updated version of the "Microservices - stress-free and without increased heart-attack risk" slide deck - yet quite a lot of extensions and updates. The deck is organized in three parts: Why, What and How. The first part addresses the question if and when you should use microservices at all. It tries to create a bigger picture by explaining changing (business) markets and a changing role of IT and fits microservices into that picture. When looking at this picture it also becomes clear that microservices always should accompanied by other measures like DevOps, Cloud and some more if you really want to leverage its benefits. Otherwise you usually only get the downsides of microservices with harvesting their benefits. The second part revisits the famous blog post from James Lewis and Martin Fowler, using it to explain what characteristics the microservice architecural style has. It turns out that this post contains quite a lot of information and that quite often only a subset of the characteristics get implemented. The third part, the "How" dives deeper into the challenges and pitfalls that you usually encounter if you decide to adopt microservices. While of course not being complete and not being a perfect guide that makes everything easy, it should at least help you tho avoid the most common problems and pitfalls. As always the voice track is missing which contains most of the information (it is a 90 min talk after all), but hopefully also the slides alone contain some helpful information.

In the rapidly evolving field of web development, hiring the right talent has become more challenging than ever before. One such talent that is high in demand is a React developer. Being able to effectively hire React developers often hinges on the technical test or coding challenge phase of the hiring process. The coding test is crucial to assess the depth of a candidate’s knowledge and their problem-solving abilities in real-time. React, a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, has become increasingly popular due to its efficiency and flexibility. Therefore, conducting a specialized “Technical Test for React Developer” becomes essential in determining whether the candidate possesses the necessary skills and knowledge about React and JavaScript. It is also a way to gauge how they approach problems and whether they can produce clean, efficient code – skills which are vital for any successful React developer. Defining the Test Objectives Aligning Test Objectives with Job Requirements Before diving into designing the React developer test, it’s imperative to clearly define the test objectives. These objectives should be aligned with the job requirements for the role. For instance, if the role requires extensive interaction with APIs or handling state across a large application, your test should include problems reflecting these tasks. Assessing Problem-solving Skills and Knowledge The main objective of a technical test, particularly when you hire React developers, is to assess the candidate’s problem-solving skills along with their knowledge of React and JavaScript. However, this shouldn’t just be about whether they can solve a problem, but also how they solve it. It’s a chance to examine their thought process, how efficiently they can write code, and how well they can optimize it. Emphasizing Practical Coding Tasks While theoretical questions can help assess a candidate’s foundational knowledge, practical coding tasks are where you can really gauge their skills. These tasks should reflect real-world problems that they would be likely to encounter in the role. Therefore, an objective of the test should be to evaluate the candidate’s ability to apply their knowledge to practical scenarios. Remember, the purpose of defining these objectives is not to trick the candidate or make the test unnecessarily hard. The aim is to ensure that the test is a valid measure of the skills and knowledge that will be required in the role. This way, you can increase your chances of selecting the most qualified candidate for your React developer position. Designing the Test Choosing Problems and Setting Time Limits When designing a “React Developer Test,” it’s essential to select problems that cover a range of topics and complexities relevant to the role. This will provide a comprehensive view of the candidate’s abilities. Here are some points to consider when choosing problems: Include questions that assess knowledge of React fundamentals, such as compon

Consumers today are increasingly using a variety of applications across web, mobile, cars and devices to find information and/or to perform their tasks. In addition, Consumers are also using multiple modes of interactions - including touch and voice - with these applications. To deliver these variety of applications and natural interaction paradigms, companies need to develop API and service platforms that can be used by their internal developers as well as external developers and partners. In order to survive and be competitive, companies need to move quickly to deliver such platforms and features. It's Not the Big that Eat the Small... It's the FAST that Eat the Slow! Successful platforms, from companies such as eBay, PayPal, Amazon and Intuit, embody attributes such as delightful integration experience, flexibility and extensibility along with implicit developer expectations - security, quality, response time and availability. This talk will share a recipe for building and delivering platforms that developers love - principles, best practices and approaches - across architecture, organizational and cultural - used in companies such as eBay, PayPal and Intuit.

Nowadays, companies require very short release cycles, especially in lean startup environments. But to release often: deployments should be routine, not terrifying. configuration should require a few clicks, not a thousand-line shell script. problems should be easy to spot, not buried in a log file. You are a developer that need to release every week or every day with a single git commit and zero-downtime? Easily spot release performance or bugs issues? If required, roll back to previous version in few seconds and one click? And you don't want to manage any dedicated repository, monitoring, build, staging, production servers? So this talk is for you! We will explore Lean startup and DevOps concepts and share our experience on how to create a simple and fully automated build pipeline for Grails apps with a live demo, based on SaaS/cloud services: GitHub, Travis CI, NewRelic, AWS (ElasticBeanstalk, CloudFront), etc.

Judy Breedlove

There’s an inherent tension for organizations doing API development: how to keep both your API developers as well as your infrastructure happy, at the same time. Decoupling front-end and back-end development allows parallel development, and helps keep your front-end, middle-end, and back-end efforts working asynchronously. This speeds progress, but requires far more – and far better – collaboration to be successful. Even an independent developer working with APIs requires good collaboration tools. In this talk, Abhinav Asthana will provide tips on how to improve in API development using collaboration tools like executable API descriptions, API mock servers, and documentation. He will include specific examples of how companies (such as VMware, Coursera, and AMC Theatres) have used collaboration to attain more agile development, to onboard developers, and to ensure input from all participants/stakeholders.

Developer experience (DX) is an extension of general User Experience, which emphasizes the developer, and their experiences working your API. A good API developer experience goes beyond technical writing. It is about providing all the right resources that help your end consumers successfully integrate and work with your API. A well designed developer experience has API documentation at the center of it. API documentation is the information that is required to successfully consume and integrate with an API. This would be in the form of technical writing, code samples and examples for better understanding how to consume an API. The OpenAPI Specification is the industry standard API design framework, allowing developers and teams to design, build, document and consume RESTful web services. The OpenAPI Specification is the de facto framework used when API practitioners want to optimize the developer experience. This talk covers what it means to have an API with good DX by understanding the types of API consumers and their journey from discovery to API integration, and how OpenAPI Spec/Swagger Spec can help in improving general API DX with great documentation.

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey. Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience. Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system. Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.

The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
