🤯 Got a mind-blowing discussion this morning with people working with government agencies. We started with "I want to retrieve this person's age" and ended with "What's the government API strategy?" #apifirst
How is it possible? By deeply investigating why you want to "retrieve this person's age", and is it actually your job to do it? #apifirst
Starting to work on APIs can uncover many topics, you may feel overwhelmed. Don't worry, start small to deliver value BUT have a few general directions/impacts in mind #apifirst
One of them is the centralized API center of production (One does APIs for others) vs the centralized API center of support (One provides guidance, possibly a platform)? The first can be done at the start, but you must shift to the second in the long run #apifirst

Need to explain to your bosses why should you invest time and money in your APIs’ quality?
At IT level, better APIs leads to a better system organization, and also more modular and decoupled systems
Your developers loose less time integrating the different systems and are able to deliver faster

This week in "APIs and stuff" we talked about handling changes (versioning, visible and invisible changes, organization changes impact user-driven changes, ...). Next week we'll talk about API monetization. twitter.com/i/spaces/1OwxW…
And thank you @patricekrakow for joining the discussion!
For next week's "APIs and stuff" space, speakers talking about experience in API monetization (monetizing your APIs, building monetization solutions) are welcomed! Monetization most often means public APIs, but I look forward to talking about why and how monetize private APIs
