About ebook: Automating API Delivery: APIOps with OpenAPI
Improve speed, quality, AND cost by automating your API delivery process!
Automating API Delivery shows you how to strike the perfect balance between speed and usability by applying DevOps automation principles to your API design and delivery process. It lays out a clear path to making both the organizational and technical changes you need to deliver high-quality APIs both rapidly and reliably.
In Automating API Delivery you'll learn how to:
Enforce API design standards with linting
Automate breaking-change checks to control design creep
Ensure accuracy of API reference documents
Centralize API definition consistency checks
Automate API configuration deployment
Conduct effective API design reviews
Author Ikenna Nwaiwu provides comprehensive guidance on implementing APIOps in your organization. He carefully walks through the technical steps and introduces the essential open-source tools, with practical advice and insights from his years of experience. You'll benefit from his personal tips for avoiding common pitfalls and challenges of moving to automated API delivery.
Foreword by Melissa van der Hecht.
About the technology
Create high quality, consistent, and fast-to-market APIs by automating the development process! This innovative book shows you how to apply established Continuous Delivery and DevOps principles along the whole API lifecycle, transforming a collection of individual tasks into a smooth, manageable pipeline that supports automated testing, iterative improvement, and reliable documentation.
About the book
Automating API Delivery introduces the tools and strategies behind APIOps. You'll discover tools and process improvements that give you important quick wins, including API governance using the Spectral API linter and establishing an efficient CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions. You'll even discover how to use the powerful OpenAPI Generator to automatically create client and server code from your API definitions.
