Embedding API design
into the company culture
Culture is
“how we do things here”
We prioritize current merchant
experience over future features
To think like the merchant we go
meet them
We design for 20x
Expose your work early
We are all designers, architects,
coders, testers, security officers
and operations engineers
We all make mistakes, but we seek
help as soon as we find out
You own when, where, and how
your code goes live
Your code should be
understandable at 4am under
stress
We embrace new technology
when it has clear benefits
Our tech stack is open source or
built in-house

API decisions are complex and
impactful:
- require diverse knowledge
- should be made fast
- definition of done
Your {public} API is "done" when...
it is used in production {by merchants}
Road to successful
API governance
API Review Group / API Board
API Design API Reviews
API ideation and feedback,
before development.
Evaluate the use of existing
APIs and come up with
improvements
Style guide & tools
Create a style guide and drive
API tool adoption.
Weareheretohelp,nottocontrol
WearenotAPIpolice!
API Review Tool: Stoplight
API Style guide
Enforce style guide with linting
OpenAPI, contract testing and design-first
JSON YAML
Evolution and versioning strategy
Value of good tooling
If you want developers to use your
frameworks in a certain way, you must
invest your time in making it easier for
them
"Make the right thing to do the easiest thing to do. Rest assured, when given
options, software developers and architects in your organization will choose
the easiest option every single time."
(Matt Stine)
"Energy is precious and the human brain is wired to conserve it whenever
possible. As a result, we often find ourselves sliding into the most convenient
option, not necessarily the best option."
(James Clear)
"We spend far more time doing what's easy than doing what's right."
(Shane Parrish)

Collaboration is a key:
Stoplight
