Join us for our first meetup of 2024. Sid Maestre and Derric Gilling will be doing an encore of their talks from the recent Austin API Summit.

**cURL to SDK: Navigating the API Adoption Chasm**
As API adoption becomes increasingly pivotal for companies, understanding the evolution from cURL commands to robust Software Development Kits (SDKs) is paramount. Your initial developer experience may focus on API reference docs with cURL commands, but as you scale, you’ll need to help developers beyond “Hello World.” Discover the pivotal role SDKs play in propelling developers towards production-ready solutions. Join us as we explore the transformative potential of SDK generation as the linchpin in crossing the API Adoption Chasm.

**Productizing and Monetizing APIs**
The talk would target product owners looking to turn APIs into revenue centers. Specifically, how to price and package APIs, different strategies around prepaid, postpaid, and PAYG billing, and how to choose the right metric to charge, etc. Then, we’ll chat on the go-to-market to drive developer adoption.

**Speakers**
As the VP of Developer Relation at APIMatic, Sid Maestre works with companies to automate how they build developer experiences and drive adoption of their APIs through SDKs, interactive documentation, guides and code samples. Before joining APIMatic, Sid was Director of Developer Experience at Lob, where his team moved from homegrown code libraries to SDKs generated from OpenAPI specifications. He also championed Xero’s adoption of API specifications used today to power their developer experience.

Derric Gilling is the CEO of Moesif, the leading API analytics and monetization platform. He enjoys helping API first businesses leverage usage-based pricing and analytics to fuel product-led growth. Gilling is a frequent speaker on API strategy at developer conferences, including API World, Developer Week, Collision, APIDays and has published a report with O’Reilly, API Strategy for Decision Makers.
