OAI Workshop: Linting API Descriptions: Consistency is King for Developer Experience! LIMITED

Tuesday February 11, 2025 1:00pm - 1:50pm PST

Erik Wilde, INNOQ, Principal Consultant

API descriptions are describing the surface of an API so that it is clear how an API works. It can be a good idea to check these descriptions against general good practices or against specific internal good practices for API designs. Linting is the process that allows those checks to be performed, by taking the description, letting a linter inspect it, and then get warnings or errors regarding the API design.

In this workshop, we look at the various motivations to use API linting. We then specifically look at HTTP-based APIs, OpenAPI as their description language, and Spectral as a popular open source linting tool. Spectral performs opinionated linting out of the box by having a set of build-in rules. Spectral allows users to add their own rules or completely replace the built-in rules. Spectral also supports modularization so that for example in larger organizations, different APIs can use different combinations of rules for various APIs. In this workshop we cannot give a complete tutorial of Spectral, but you will walk away with a good understanding of when to use it, how to apply it to your use cases, and what its general capabilities look like.

PRO WORKSHOP: GitHub Actions: Make Them Work for You! LIMITED

Tuesday February 11, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm PST

GitHub Actions offer robust and free CI/CD capabilities to streamline your development process. In this presentation, we'll dive into the core components of GitHub Actions and explore how they can be set to work for you by demonstrating various simple and advanced use cases!

GitHub Actions is an ideal tool for any project hosted on GitHub. It provides CI/CD features out of the box and is accessible to everyone without the need for extra infrastructure or setup. The declarative way of creating Actions makes their usage really easy, and its remarkable free layer provides sufficient limits even for big projects.

Especially for Open Source projects, where usually there is more than a single contributor, the need for CI/CD is huge. What will happen if you own an open source project and someone creates a Pull Request with really nice features but adds Security risks in the project (e.g. due to deprecated dependencies) or if they break some of the existing functionality? Would you be able to check all of them on your own? Maybe yes, but it would take much more time compared to having them all checked automatically by utilizing GitHub Actions.

Join me to explore how to make GitHub Actions run faster by utilizing caching mechanisms, build Reports for Testing, Coverage and Security issues and integrate them with any open Pull Request in the community, to have an automated evaluation of the suggested PR and get notifications for them.
