About the Talk
What does it take to bring order from chaos in a legacy API architecture? Over the past 5 years Kroger Technology has been on a journey to improve our API developer experience. We've evolved our API platform to solve significant challenges with discovery, accessibility, reusability, and consistency while creating new opportunities for integration with internal and external systems. We invite you to join us as we share our story and insights.
