Abstract
Who cares about your API?
Everyone.
DevOps has shown us that when developers care about operations, they write better software.
What other viewpoints should developers consider when they're building software?
In this panel discussion, our experts will talk about the various audiences who care about APIs and their perspectives.
From engineers creating, consuming, and supporting an API, and all the non-technical team members, our panelists will provide a 360-degree view of what's important.
