Annegret Junker - Online Only - Can AI Design Elegant APIs?

Join us this October for two special meetups featuring international guest speakers! The first is an online-only event with Annegret Junker, author of the book Mastering Domain-Driven Design. She'll share her expert insights on how AI is changing the way we design elegant APIs using a DDD-inspired approach.

Agenda:
5:30pm - Welcome
5:45pm - Annegret Junker- Can AI Design Elegant APIs? A DDD-Inspired Perspective
6:45pm - Wrap up and Farewell

The live-stream link will be sent out to attendees on the day.

Can AI Design Elegant APIs? A DDD-Inspired Perspective

Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate API specifications—but can they help us design elegant APIs grounded in Domain-Driven Design (DDD)? In this talk, we explore how AI can support developers and architects in crafting APIs that are understandable, consistent, and closely aligned with the domain.

Using the Synergetic Blueprint as a guiding design process, we walk through how LLMs can assist at different stages—from understanding the domain to generating and refining API specifications. The talk demonstrates how AI can complement collaborative DDD techniques, such as Domain Storytelling, Event Storming, and Context Mapping, by translating domain insights into structured, meaningful APIs.

What you’ll learn:

• How the Synergetic Blueprint connects DDD practices with API design
• The role of Domain Storytelling, Event Storming, and Context Mapping in grounding design decisions
• How AI can assist in transforming domain knowledge into API specifications
• Using AI to detect inconsistencies between specs and domain understanding
• Where AI adds value—and where human judgment is irreplaceable

This talk offers practical prompts, examples, and a critical perspective on when and how to use AI effectively in modern, domain-driven API design.
I hope it fits your interest.
