Report: “AI-Powered API Design”

We are working on a new report that explores the use of AI-assisted API design using the ADDR (Align-Define-Design-Refine) API design first process. Sign up to be notified when the report is available.

Details in the report will include:

  • What LLM models are fully aware of the ADDR process
  • Prompt engineering techniques for a great ADDR design dession
  • How to leverage AI to coach you and your team on using the ADDR process
  • How to improve your requirements gathering process through prompt engineering
  • Applying ADDR and AI for Spec-Driven Development

Be sure to sign up and be notified when the report is ready.


P.S. Anyone that signs up to receive the report will also receive a discount for upcoming workshops!

“Principles of Web API Design”

A Practical Approach to API Design

Principles of Web API Design brings together principles and processes to help you succeed across the entire API design lifecycle. Drawing on extensive in-the-trenches experience, leading consultant James Higginbotham helps you align every stakeholder on specific outcomes, design APIs that deliver value, and scale the design process from small teams to the entire organization.

The book brings an “outside-in” perspective to API design to reflect the voices of customers and product teams, map requirements to specific and well-organized APIs, and choose the right API style for writing them. He walks through a real-world example from the ground up, offering guidance for anyone designing new APIs or extending existing APIs.

  • Deliver great APIs by getting your design processes right
  • Gain agreement on specific outcomes from design teams, customers, and other stakeholders
  • Craft job stories, conduct EventStorming, and model capabilities
  • Identify the right APIs, and organize operations into coherent API profiles
  • Choose the best styles for each project: REST, gRPC, GraphQL, or event-based async APIs
  • Refine designs based on feedback from documenters, testers, and customers
  • Decompose APIs into microservices
  • Mature your API program, implementing design and management processes that scale
