A platform for developers, technologists, and enthusiasts to come together to discuss, learn, and collaborate on topics around APIs and Open Source. Open collaboration is a driving force behind APIs and open-source projects, and we look forward to talks on community-driven technologies such as OpenAPI, GraphQL, AsyncAPI, gRPC and webhooks.
