OAI Workshop: Intro to Contract Testing: Evolving APIs Safely
Tuesday February 11, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm PST
Frank Kilcommins, SmartBear, Principal API Technical Evangelist

Microservices and modular API architectures have transformed the technical landscape, enabling rapid innovation, faster releases, and decentralized evolvability. However, scaling these architectures introduces significant challenges. Managing dependencies between providers, consumers, and environments often leads to API sprawl, increasing complexity and diminishing returns. Traditional reliance on integration and end-to-end testing struggles to keep pace, resulting in high costs, lengthy feedback loops, and the rise of “zombie APIs.”

Contract testing offers a scalable and efficient alternative to address these challenges, rebalancing the testing pyramid by focusing on the interactions between API providers and consumers. With bi-directional contract testing, teams can leverage existing OpenAPI artifacts and design-first workflows to validate changes without needing expensive, brittle end-to-end setups. Providers gain insight into the impact of API changes, while consumers understand the surface area of APIs they rely on.

We will cover:

- The limitations of end-to-end testing in modern API architectures.
- How contract testing reduces complexity and promotes collaboration.
- The fundamentals of provider and consumer workflows for bi-directional contract testing.
- How to leverage tools like Pact to maximize OpenAPI investments and enable faster scaling.
- Demonstrations showcasing contract testing in action.

Whether you're navigating a microservices ecosystem or building a modular API platform, this workshop will empower you to evolve APIs safely, deliver value faster, and streamline your testing strategy. Join us to bring clarity and confidence to your API architecture.

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

OpenAPI Summit: Your Cheat Code for API Authorization
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
Omri Gazitt, Aserto, Co-founder & CEO

Congrats, your org is all-in on microservices! But now you have hundreds (or thousands!) of APIs. Some power your customer-facing apps. Others are platform services that your front-end services consume. Still others are back-end services used by internal tools.

And ALL of them need to be authorized.

Not to mention, you need to be able to answer questions like “which users are authorized to invoke this endpoint?” and “which endpoints can this user invoke?”

Having each API “do its own thing” makes it all but impossible to wrangle this complexity. You need a cross-cutting solution to apply authorization rules consistently - either in the API code or at the API Gateway.

Enter Aserto: an open source cloud-native authorization service that does this, and more.

This talk provides hands-on learning for how to go from an OpenAPI spec to a fine-grained authorization model, ready to authorize your users, in just a few minutes.

Jeremy Snyder, Firetail, CEO

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two of the most important developments in tech of the last 10 years. While AI has grabbed the majority of headlines lately, APIs are the unsung heroes, the “connective tissue” that ensures seamless integration across our digital lives. But how will the more recent emergence of AI affect API security, and how do APIs affect the security of AI? 
In this talk, we’ll explore these two hot topics that make our online worlds work. AI can be helpful to API security by allowing security teams to automate certain processes or make testing more efficient, but it can also be used to help malicious actors automate their attacks.

[Virtual] OpenAPI Summit: Your Cheat Code for API Authorization
Wednesday February 19, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
Omri Gazitt, Aserto, Co-founder & CEO

Congrats, your org is all-in on microservices! But now you have hundreds (or thousands!) of APIs. Some power your customer-facing apps. Others are platform services that your front-end services consume. Still others are back-end services used by internal tools.

And ALL of them need to be authorized.

Not to mention, you need to be able to answer questions like “which users are authorized to invoke this endpoint?” and “which endpoints can this user invoke?”

Having each API “do its own thing” makes it all but impossible to wrangle this complexity. You need a cross-cutting solution to apply authorization rules consistently - either in the API code or at the API Gateway.

Enter Aserto: an open source cloud-native authorization service that does this, and more.

This talk provides hands-on learning for how to go from an OpenAPI spec to a fine-grained authorization model, ready to authorize your users, in just a few minutes.

[Virtual] OpenAPI Summit: No AI without APIs
Wednesday February 19, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Jeremy Snyder, Firetail, CEO

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two of the most important developments in tech of the last 10 years. While AI has grabbed the majority of headlines lately, APIs are the unsung heroes, the “connective tissue” that ensures seamless integration across our digital lives. But how will the more recent emergence of AI affect API security, and how do APIs affect the security of AI? 
In this talk, we’ll explore these two hot topics that make our online worlds work. AI can be helpful to API security by allowing security teams to automate certain processes or make testing more efficient, but it can also be used to help malicious actors automate their attacks.

[Virtual] OpenAPI Summit: APIOps: Interface Development at Scale
Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
Erik Hansen, Dell Technologies, API Architect, Developer Platform Services

Sure, your product may deliver a REST API to customers, but what about all those interfaces that exist within your company - between microservices, for internal tooling, and from imported packages? API Operations (APIOps) enables a consistent process, for developing and sharing any type of software interface, within your company and for your customers – whether you have 2 or 200 teams.
In this talk, learn how Dell is implementing APIOps to:
- Increase development velocity - for the team producing a shared interface, and their consumers.
- Reduce complexity - through common developer tooling and processes.
- Promote Consistency - by automating validation and governance.
- Expand Visibility - across all types of interfaces: REST, gRPC, event-based, and others.

-83% of internet traffic are APIs
-APIs are under-secured

How do APIs get attacked?
Attackers look for APIs that are over-permissioned, return to much information, access unauthorized functions, and expose logic flaws. Attackers are able to bypass a web or mobile app and hit the API directly.

OWASP top 10!!
#1-#4 are the biggest issues

More compliance regulations are including testing APIs.
