Abstracts

We often oppose Code-first to API-first approaches. Most of the coders prefer the first one because it is more code centric, and the documentation is automatically generated.
In fact, the latter is often perceived by them as a "boring-documentation-first" development.

However, the API-first design and implementation offer many benefits: streamlining your API, tackling the complexity and most of all, boosting the developer experience of your customers.

Through a real-world Enterprise Java platform, we will revamp it as a "API-First-Compliant" application using the latest practices and tools. We will also identify the main challenges and provide actionable insights to overcome them.

We will therefore see how to tackle this huge challenge: improve the quality of your API, boosting the adoption of your API by your customers, and most importantly, make your developers love the Documentation Code First approach!
