Talk description

OpenAPI is a standard for creating a very detailed and machine-readable description of your API. Once you have that, the machines can use it to create all sorts of goodness. This session will focus on how generated SDKs can fit into a Developer Experience strategy, enabling users to generate code for their own use, or going a step further and curating captivating libraries with accurate, maintainable, generated code at its core. We'll look at some examples, and some occasions when the fairy tale may not be all we hoped it would be. This session is recommended for anyone with an interest in Developer Experience for APIs.
