API-First & Automation Testing Feat. Alex Chernyak Of ZAPTEST API Intersection podcast

42:29

- Just a note, folks- this episode marks our final episode of API Intersection. In late 2023, Stoplight was involved in a merger with SmartBear, and as our teams focus on bringing Stoplight and Swaggerhub together, it requires our full attention. We've decided to place the show on hold indefinitely. We've enjoyed getting to connect to so many of you in the community and hoep to continue to do so through other means for the time being. Thank you for all of the listening, learning, and conversation. - This week on API Intersection , we sat down with Bryan Thomas and Puneet Kumar , who joined us from Humana. Both play heavily involved roles in the Enterprise API program there, and brought their unique perspectives to share. With an organization as large as Humana, we talked about how you build and maintain APIs at scale. What does consistency mean? How do you think of your APIs as a product, and why does that work ? Most importantly, when you go to make changes in your program, how do you get people on all levels on board?

As APIs become more ubiquitous, they are increasingly targeted by hackers, so getting your API security right is a necessity. This week on API Intersection , we thought, what better way to celebrate Security September than to bring on the API security expert himself, Dan Barahona? As Founder of APIsec University and Head of Growth at APIsec , Dan Barahona comes to the table with over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. He created APISec University to raise awareness and educate about API risks and security, and many of their courses are open to the public. In fact, I just did an entire course on API Documentation Best Practices and how it relates to security, which I highly recommend you all check out. Anyways, we discussed how organizations face various challenges in managing and securing APIs, such as API sprawl and a need for more visibility about their APIs. Here are a few quick wins to get you on the right track to proper API security. Most importantly, ensure you have proactive API security practices and address security concerns early in the development process. _____ To subscribe to the podcast, visit https://stoplight.io/podcast --- API Intersection Podcast listeners are invited to sign up for Stoplight and save up to $650!

This week on API Intersection , we welcomed Varun Singh, Chief Product & Technology Officer of the Daily . Daily is a company that powers real-time audio and video for millions of people globally. Their user base consists of many developers who use their APIs and client SDKs to build audio and video features into applications. We delved into the significance of APIs in the video streaming industry and the crucial design considerations when integrating with such systems. Varun shed light on the challenges that APIs address in the video industry, such as achieving low latency in live streaming and real-time communications and efficiently managing multiple streams while ensuring a seamless user experience, especially when scaling to accommodate large numbers of participants. "Previously, video streaming was primarily focused on platforms like Netflix and YouTube. However, with the pandemic, real-time video communications have become more prevalent due to the surge in video calls, which means more and more APIs being created to support that," shares Varun.

As programmers and global travelers, we understand the importance of being well-versed in multiple languages. However, there's one language that holds a special place in our hearts: the language of API Design . It's a skill that requires a delicate balance of consistency, developer experience, and stakeholder involvement. In our quest for knowledge, we came across the enlightening API Design Matters Substack by David Biesack, a renowned expert in the field. We couldn't resist inviting him to our API Intersection podcast to share his invaluable insights on all things design-related. As the Chief API Officer at Apiture , David focuses on API design and utilizes OpenAPI.
