Building API Experiences Your Developers Love

I have been in the API Developer Relations space since 2021. It's one of the most toughest Developer Relations field to manage. If you are a new React framework company, your DevRel efforts might be minial as everyone in the tech is general excited about the new frameworks or front-end technology. But API Developer Relations is hard to manage as API is the most boring technology. In this session, I want to present what are the some offerings along with the documentation that can help providing a standout API DX. This includes sandboxing, SDKs, Playground, clearer error messages, and beyond.

I test a lot of API products so I want to show different API companies and how they are excelling in API DX space. Trust me, I am not going to be focused on my company for free promotion. I want this talk to be 100% organic and open.
