Description APIs are everywhere. It doesn't matter whether you're building a CRM, a chat platform, or an e-commerce product, your customers will want an API. It's no wonder, as APIs are powerful and enable integrations, automations (both code and no-code), and a variety of other use-cases. In fact, APIs are so useful, that there are now many examples of successful API-only products. Building an API product, however, comes with its own unique set of challenges, which unlike their UI-driven counterparts, are much harder to fix once done wrong. In a world where developer experience is king, and security issues are rampant, getting any of these wrong may mean the life or death of your product. In this talk Tom will cover the main things you need to consider when building an API product, covering topics such as high-availability, API design, SDKs, security, and compliance. Tom will draw examples from his experience building a successful API business, and the experiences of fellow founders of API driven products and companies.
