We'll host Mike Amundsen, Author of many books on how to build APIs and Lars Wolff, CEO Stormforger, on two talks about how to design, build, test and deploy quality web APIs that are robust, reliable, and resilient.

*Timeline:*
17:30 - 18:15 - Building Great Web APIs incl. Q&A
18:15 - 18:30 - Break
18:30 - 19:15 - Perftest early and often – Ensure reliable {Applications, APIs} by continuous testing of performance characteristics

*Building Great Web APIs*

APIs are transforming the business world at an increasing pace. In order to take advantage of this wave, your organization needs the essential skills to quickly and consistently design, build, and deploy quality web APIs that are robust, reliable, and resilient.

Creating a single API is not enough, you also need to create a repeatable, teachable, and trackable process that allows teams to go from an initial API modeling and design process through API sketching, prototyping and implementation through testing, securing and deploying

Based on the upcoming book "Design and Build Great Web APIs" from Pragmatic Publishers, this talk covers a proven pattern that you can use to unlock hidden business value and produce stable and scalable web APIs that meet customer needs and solve important business problems in a consistent and reliable manner.

His latest book — "Design and Build Great APIs" — for Pragmatic Publishing is scheduled for release in early 2020.

*Perftest early and often – Ensure reliable {Applications, APIs} by continuous testing of performance characteristics (of non-functional requirements)*

Load Testing is not only an important instrument for understanding a system’s behavior and its runtime environment but also great to check characteristics of non-functional requirements like performance, scalability, reliability, resiliency. All of these are essential to continuously deliver high-quality applications in cloud environments.
This talk covers how to make performance testing a daily habit for everyone in DevOps organizations. Learn how to match non-functional requirements, continuously deliver high-quality applications and let a sustainable performance culture evolve.

*About Lars:*

Lars Wolff is Co-founder and CEO of StormForger – a load & performance testing SaaS for DevOps organizations. His journey led from failing ;-) to building and running web-based systems in small to large teams for products with no-traffic-at-all to multi region high-traffic production workloads.
Marked by pain, consulting and agile coaching his main profession finally boiled down to found StormForger because performance matters! With StormForger he helps teams to deliver fast, scalable, reliable systems in a cloudy digital product world. He’s in love with The Cloud™, DevOps, Scrum, Kanban, Whiteboards and Post-its®.
