Mews Meetup: Beyond the Endpoint

APIs are everywhere — but building and scaling them well is a whole different game. From using AI to speed up development to diving head-first into OpenAPI as a beginner, this meetup brings real stories, tools, and lessons from engineers in the field. Talks will be followed by relaxed networking, drinks, and good tech chat.

🎤 Martin Horák (Mews): OpenApiSpecification First Approach
💬 Martin is a backend dev who accidentally stumbled into designing an API from scratch with OpenAPI First—and lived to tell the tale. This talk is about how he went from “what even is OAS?” to building a fully documented, testable API using LLMs, NSwag, and other magic tricks. No preaching, just a story of how he fumbled his way into something surprisingly useful (and occasionally painful).

🎤 Matyáš Křeček (DX Heroes): AI Meets API: Practical AI Use Cases Across the API Lifecycle
💬 As AI adoption accelerates, it’s transforming every stage of the API lifecycle — from planning and design to deployment and maintenance. In this talk, we’ll explore how AI tools are becoming essential collaborators in building, scaling, and managing modern APIs and making API development faster and more accessible to both technical and non-technical teams.

🎤 Michal Řehout (ROUVY): GraphQL can make your life better. Or worse.
💬 GraphQL promises data unification and developer ease, but poor design can lead to a nightmare. Let’s explore key patterns and pitfalls. We'll cover BFF architecture, resolver caching, and GraphQL's vital role as an API gateway.

🎤 Martyn Davies (Zuplo): AI Is Coming For Your API
💬 Your APIs aren't just serving web apps and mobile clients anymore, they're talking to AI agents, LLMs, and autonomous systems that consume data in fundamentally different ways. In this talk, we'll explore why the way you've always built APIs might not cut it when your consumer is an AI agent, LLM or autonomous robo-being, and how to future-proof your API for the agents that are coming for it.
