BarCamp RD 2021 - API4Future: A journey how to create a stable API

API Changes always are very risky activities and need a good planning to not crash a project. Because this could cost a lot of adjustments and work for API consumers. In this talk I will share my experience how to prevent common problems designing APIs.

By experience, enterprise applications have a long lifetime period. This is one oft the reasons why we need to pay a lot of attention for maintenance. But how we are able to avoid chaos in the project? With some Code Examples in Java I will demonstrate how a stable API get developed. Some questions I will answer in this talk: • Quality and Maintenance • Architecture & Design Pattern for APIs • API Documentation & Versioning
