As an #API enthusiast, I've been promoting API usage for over 10 years. However, despite the growing adoption of #APIs among developers, I've noticed a worrying lack of awareness about the risks of relying on (external) APIs. Here's a thread: 👇

"By maintaining an up-to-date #API landscape, organizations can ensure smoother workflows, effective bug fixing, and resource optimization, ultimately contributing to improved efficiency and collaboration within the organization."

@ja_bakker Houd mij er eens buiten 🤪

I still find it confusing that the info.version field of the @OpenApiSpec is the only info field not about the API but about the document itself, as the info object "provides metadata about the API", according to https://t.co/12RL1NuTBl.

Happy to present a session at @AppdevconNL again!

Last week, our Senate enacted a law so they can oblige government orgs in the Netherlands to use digital standards enlisted in our standardization agency. Proud of my contribution to get @OpenApiSpec on that list, which means that every gov #API should come with an #openapi spec!

Gisteren heeft de @EersteKamer de Wet Digitale Overheid (#Wdo) aangenomen. Artikel 3 van deze wet geeft een grondslag voor het verplichten van open standaarden. Lees meer op de website: https://t.co/HdXhxjLgNO

@jamonholmgren @_dylandover @tomasz_ducin @housecor Couldn't agree more. It looks like the good old discussion about unit tests and striving for 100% code coverage.

[Dimitri van Hees @dvh]

My mission is to raise awareness about this issue and encourage developers to take a more active role in managing their API dependencies. In the coming weeks, I'll be publishing a series of blog posts on this topic, so stay tuned!

By doing so, we can minimize the risks involved in using APIs and be better prepared for when something goes wrong. We can also be more proactive in seeking alternatives or developing fallback strategies.

Still not sure about this, so let's ask the community. How do you call an organization publishing/providing an #API? Which role do I have running an API-as-a-Product?
