How can we help API platform teams ensure that their organizations make and use secure, reliable, and easy-to-use APIs?

Organizations make and use lots of APIs -- often they don’t even know the full extent of the APIs that they make and use. This creates security and reliability risks, duplicated efforts, and divergent patterns that make APIs harder to use and products harder to build.

There’s no silver bullet solution -- there’s no one API pattern or methodology that fits all organizations. Usually there’s not even one that works for all the teams and APIs of a single organization. APIs grow organically and independently and variety is an inescapable reality.

Making APIs better is hard work, but we believe that it starts with knowledge: knowledge of the APIs our teams are making, knowledge of the APIs our teams want to make, knowledge of the APIs our teams are using, knowledge of the APIs our teams want to use, and even knowledge of the APIs that our teams can’t or shouldn’t use because they are deprecated, unreliable, exposing us to security threats, or creating business risks for our organization.

In this session, we want to discuss the requirements for a platform for collecting this knowledge and doing the work of making APIs better. What are its key features? How might we use them?
