Presentation to Gluecon 2014 about Swagger for API development and adoption of services. Reverb also announced the Swagger 2.0 Working Group, with Apigee as a founding member
Swagger is an open source software framework backed by
a large ecosystem of tools that helps developers
design, build, document and consume RESTful Web
services.
The document provides an overview of Swagger 2.0 and how it can be used to define REST APIs. Swagger allows both humans and computers to understand APIs without access to code or documentation. It includes a specification and tools like an editor, code generation, and UI. The document demonstrates defining a sample DEMO API in Swagger format and generating interactive documentation with Swagger UI. It also introduces PySwagger for testing APIs based on their Swagger definition.
This document discusses how Swagger can be used to develop APIs faster. It describes what Swagger is, provides an example Swagger YAML file, and discusses how code can be generated from Swagger specifications. It also introduces Swagger Inflector, which uses the Swagger specification as the single source of truth to automatically route controllers, map models, and generate sample data when controllers are not implemented. The document encourages rethinking the DRY principle and maintaining the API specification as the central source.
Swagger is a simple yet powerful representation of your RESTful API. With the largest ecosystem of API tooling on the planet, thousands of developers are supporting Swagger in almost every modern programming language and deployment environment. With a Swagger-enabled API, you get interactive documentation, client SDK generation and discoverability.
An introduction to a popular framework for Service Oriented REST APIs, Proof of Concepts and Rapid Development. Swagger is a indispensable tool for Software Engineers, Developers and Architects.

Devoxx Belgium Nov. 2015
Swagger is a specification and complete framework implementation for describing, producing, consuming, and visualizing RESTful web services. The overarching goal of Swagger is to enable client and documentation systems to update at the same pace as the server. The documentation of methods, parameters, and models are tightly integrated into the server code, allowing APIs to always stay in sync. With Swagger, deploying managing, and using powerful APIs has never been easier.
Swagger UI enables generating documentation for RESTful APIs that is updated as the server code changes. It works with Spring Boot by adding dependencies, a configuration file, and annotations. This exposes API endpoints in the browser for testing and provides descriptive documentation of each service's title, function, inputs, and outputs.
Stormpath .NET Developer Evangelist, Nate Barbettini, presents Token Authentication with ASP.NET Core. Nate will explain how Token Authentication can be used to secure web applications built with ASP.NET Core, REST APIs, and 'unsafe' clients while supporting security best practices and even improving performance and scale.
Writing REST APIs with OpenAPI and Swagger AdaStephane Carrez
ย
The presentation was held in the Ada devroom at the FOSDEM 2018.
The OpenAPI specification is an emerging specification to describe RESTful web services. The Swagger suite is a collection of tools to write such API descriptions and have the code generated in more than 29 languages, including Ada. The presentation will describe how to write a REST operation with OpenAPI, generate the Ada client with Swagger Codegen and use the generated code to interact with the server. We will also describe the generated Ada server code and how to implement the server side and run a complete REST server.
The document provides an introduction and overview of APIs, REST, and OpenAPI specification. It discusses key concepts like resources, HTTP verbs, and OpenAPI structure. It also demonstrates OpenAPI syntax using JSON and YAML examples and highlights best practices for documenting APIs with OpenAPI.
This document provides an overview of GraphQL, including:
- GraphQL allows clients to request specific data fields from an API rather than entire resources.
- It addresses limitations of REST such as multiple requests being needed to get related data.
- Many large companies use GraphQL including Facebook, GitHub, and Yelp.
- GraphQL has a type system including object, query, mutation, scalar and other types.
- Examples demonstrate basic GraphQL syntax and concepts like fields, arguments, and fragments.
- Additional resources are provided for learning more about GraphQL.
Postman is an API development tool that allows users to design, manage, run, test, document, and share APIs. It provides features like request building, documentation, environments, test automation, and collaboration. Alternatives include Paw, Insomnia, command line tools like cURL, and services from Apigee and Apiary. The document recommends using any tool that helps share APIs, especially for complex projects and team collaboration.

This document discusses the webdriver.io framework for automated browser testing. The author needed a framework for blackbox testing of a web interface like a user would. Webdriver.io provides JavaScript bindings for Selenium that allow writing tests in a synchronous style using the browser object. Tests can run across multiple browsers and platforms. The framework is easy to set up and use, supports plugins, and allows custom commands. Under the hood, it communicates with Selenium using the WebDriver protocol to automate actual browsers.
JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are compact, self-contained tokens used to securely transmit information between parties as JSON objects. JWTs contain a header, payload, and signature. The header typically specifies the token type and signing algorithm being used. The payload contains claims about the user such as username, ID, and expiration time. The signature ensures the token integrity. JWTs are signed using a secret or public/private key pair to authenticate and securely exchange information.
This document discusses consuming RESTful APIs using Swagger v2.0. It provides an overview of Swagger and how it can be used to automatically generate client code for APIs in multiple languages like Android and iOS.

Presentation by Tony Tam on using the Scalatra micro web framework with native support for Swagger. This gives the fastest possible server-to-mobile integration with Scala
This document discusses API description languages (APIs), comparing Swagger and RAML. It provides an overview of each specification and demonstrates how to define a sample wishlist API using Swagger via swagger-node-express and RAML. While both work well for RESTful APIs, RAML allows for more robust modeling and top-down design capabilities. The document considers issues like documentation approaches and generating documentation from code versus design.
Just a few years back, lack of a standard way to document, govern or describe a contract for the APIs acted as a deterrent to API adoption within the enterprise. WSDL 2.0 and WADL provided early support, but they couldnโt truly capture the essence of RESTful APIs. Recently we have seen the emergence of several description languages. New ways to describe and document APIs have emerged such as Swagger, RAML, API Blueprint and others, each taking a slightly different approach.
The document discusses an API-first or description-driven approach to API development using the Swagger specification. It argues that the traditional approach of building an API and then documenting it is broken because it puts API consumers at a disadvantage. Instead, it advocates describing the API interface first using Swagger, which allows developers to model and iterate on the API without writing any code. This benefits both API developers and consumers.

Five Ways to Scale your API Without Touching Your Code3scale
ย
Five ways to scale an API without changing code:
1. Optimize API design by removing unnecessary methods and structuring methods to match use cases.
2. Add aggregate methods to reduce calls to base methods.
3. Implement rate limiting to reduce load and encourage efficient code.
4. Offboard caching and processing to clients to reduce server load.
5. Provide SDKs to encode best practices and optimize client code patterns.
Together these techniques can significantly improve scaling by managing load through changes to API structure and client behavior rather than requiring code changes.

Love your API with Swagger (Gluecon lightning talk)Tony Tam
ย
Love your API with Swagger
Developers want to understand and integrate with APIs but have different workflows than API creators. Swagger makes APIs understandable, testable, discoverable, and ready to integrate through a simple JSON description that can be built directly or via code/YAML/GUI. It allows developers to try out APIs and generate SDKs so they can use services as they want rather than writing the API creator's software. The Swagger community supports many frameworks and it is open source under the Apache 2 license.
API Gateways are going through an identity crisisChristian Posta
ย
API Gateways provide functionality like rate limiting, authentication, request routing, reporting, and more. If you've been following the rise in service-mesh technologies, you'll notice there is a lot of overlap with API Gateways when solving some of the challenges of microservices. If service mesh can solve these same problems, you may wonder whether you really need a dedicated API Gateway solution?
The reality is there is some nuance in the problems solved at the edge (API Gateway) compared to service-to-service communication (service mesh) within a cluster. But with the evolution of cluster-deployment patterns, these nuances are becoming less important. What's more important is that the API Gateway is evolving to live at a layer above service mesh and not directly overlapping with it. In other words, API Gateways are evolving to solve application-level concerns like aggregation, transformation, and deeper context and content-based routing as well as fitting into a more self-service, GitOps style workflow.
In this talk we put aside the "API Gateway" infrastructure as we know it today and go back to first principles with the "API Gateway pattern" and revisit the real problems we're trying to solve. Then we'll discuss pros and cons of alternative ways to implement the API Gateway pattern and finally look at open source projects like Envoy, Kubernetes, and GraphQL to see how the "API Gateway pattern" actually becomes the API for our applications while coexisting nicely with a service mesh (if you adopt a service mesh).

Swagger: Restful documentation that won't put you to sleepTobias Coetzee
ย
RESTful services are becoming more prevalent in the systems we build and interact with. One of the problems with RESTful services is documentation. The documentation is either non-existent, out-dated and useless or done in Word completed separate from the actual code. Keeping the documentation up to date is also boring.
Swagger.io gives you a way to overcome your RESTful service documentation problems by making your RESTful serviceโs documentation part of the code. Swagger.io gives you interactive documentation, i.e. no more boring Word documents, and the added bonuses of client SDK generation and discoverability.

Have your cake and eat it too: GraphQL? REST? Why not have both!
Roy Mor, Technical Lead at Sisense
One of the greatest challenges to developing an API is ensuring that your API lasts. After all, you donโt want to have to release and manage multiple versions of your API just because you werenโt expecting users to use it a certain way, or because you didnโt anticipate far enough down the roadmap. In this session, weโll talk about the challenge of API Longevity, as well as ways to increase your API lifecycle including having a proper mindset, careful design, agile user experience and prototyping, best design practices including hypermedia, and the challenge of maintaining persistence.
A Tasty deep-dive into Open API Specification LinksTony Tam
ย
From the March APICraft meetup in San Francisco, we dive into the details of one of the newest features of the Open API Specification (fka Swagger Specification) called links.
While not intended as a replacement for Hypermedia, the OAS 3.0 Links feature provides design-time designation for rich traversals between operations
Presented at JavaOne 2016.
Using Swagger has become the most popular way to describe REST APIs across the web, enabling people to more quickly understand and communicate with services, with developer-friendly documentation and rich, autogenerated client SDKs. As the API has moved more into being one of the most important aspects of a service, the Swagger definition has become increasingly more important and essential to the design phase. This presentation explains how the Swagger definition can be used to streamline the iteration process and enable client and server engineers to develop concurrently with complex APIs.
Writer APIs in Java faster with Swagger InflectorTony Tam
ย
Swagger provides a clean contract for your REST API. Swagger Inflector is a project which uses Swagger as the language of the API, automatically wiring REST endpoints directly to controllers in the Jersey 2.x framework. By doing so, the specification and code are always up to date, removing potentially error-prone redundant code and bringing development on the JDK up to speed with typeless languages.
The document introduces Swagger, an open source framework for describing and documenting RESTful APIs. Swagger allows APIs to be defined in a machine-readable JSON format and generates documentation, client libraries, and servers from these definitions. This standardized interface for APIs has benefits like enabling parallel development, removing logic from clients, and facilitating code generation for multiple platforms and languages.
- Data modeling for NoSQL databases is different than relational databases and requires designing the data model around access patterns rather than object structure. Key differences include not having joins so data needs to be duplicated and modeling the data in a way that works for querying, indexing, and retrieval speed.
- The data model should focus on making the most of features like atomic updates, inner indexes, and unique identifiers. It's also important to consider how data will be added, modified, and retrieved factoring in object complexity, marshalling/unmarshalling costs, and index maintenance.
- The _id field can be tailored to the access patterns, such as using dates for time-series data to keep recent
This document discusses various techniques for monitoring applications without interfering with core engineering work. It recommends using open source tools like the Wordnik profiler, Swagger, and MongoDB's oplog to provide business metrics monitoring and allow product teams to define their own metrics. The oplog can be used to access real-time data changes and power use cases like alerts, analytics, and pushing data to external systems without interrupting application code.
This document discusses various strategies for backing up MongoDB data to keep it safe. It recommends:
1. Using mongodump for simple backups that can restore quickly but may be inconsistent.
2. Setting up replication for high availability, but also using mongodump for backups and testing restore processes.
3. Taking snapshots of the data files for consistent backups, but this requires downtime and gaps can occur between snapshots.
4. Using the oplog for incremental, continuous backups to avoid gaps without downtime using tools like the Wordnik Admin Tools. Testing backups is strongly recommended.
Wordnik's architecture is built around a large English word graph database and uses microservices and ephemeral Amazon EC2 storage. Key aspects include:
1) The system is built as independent microservices that communicate via REST APIs documented using Swagger specifications.
2) Databases for each microservice are kept small by design to facilitate operations like backups, replication, and index rebuilding.
3) Services are deployed across multiple Availability Zones and regions on ephemeral Amazon EC2 storage for high availability despite individual host failures.
This document discusses scaling applications and services. It recommends taking a vertical approach by breaking monolithic applications into microservices that communicate through APIs. The Swagger framework is presented as a way to document and test APIs. Swagger can generate client libraries and helps services scale by enabling asynchronous communication through websockets. Taking this vertical, microservices approach with Swagger improves scalability by allowing dedicated teams to own individual services and improves performance through asynchronous communication protocols.
A deck on the practical reasons why Wordnik moved to the Scala programming language. Also covered is the Swagger REST API framework which is available at http://swagger.wordnik.com
A presentation on the selection criteria, testing + evaluation and successful, zero-downtime migration to MongoDB. Additionally details on Wordnik's speed and stability are covered as well as how NoSQL technologies have changed the way Wordnik scales.
Managing a MongoDB deployment discusses operational best practices for MongoDB including redundancy with master-slave replication or replica sets, controlling blocking operations, handling eventual consistency, and scaling out deployments. It provides details on Wordnik's MongoDB architecture using Java application servers, REST APIs, master-slave replication across data centers, and tools they developed for backups, restores, and incremental replication. It emphasizes understanding your data and access patterns to choose the right operational solutions.
Migrating from MySQL to MongoDB at WordnikTony Tam
ย
Wordnik migrated their live application from MySQL to MongoDB to address scaling issues. They moved over 5 billion documents totaling over 1.2 TB of data with zero downtime. The migration involved setting up MongoDB infrastructure, designing the data model and software to match their existing object model, migrating the data, and optimizing performance of the new system. They achieved insert rates of over 100,000 documents per second during the migration process and saw read speeds increase to 250,000 documents per second after completing the move to MongoDB.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
ย
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, โThe Coding War Games.โ
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we donโt find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

4. Swagger Philosophy
โข Communicating is too much work
โ Users donโt want to write YOUR SDK
โ If youโre good at Ruby, you suck at GO
โข Consumers need a contract
โ Service logic doesnโt belong in the SDK
โข Services are plumbing
โ We shouldnโt all be plumbers
โ Business logic is your business
5. Swagger Philosophy
โข Solved by machine-readable, discoverable
API contract
โข Should speed up, not slow down
development process
โข External services/proxies not required
6. What is Swagger?
โข An interface to your service
โ Described in JSON
โข It is a contract to your service
โข Enables โbigotry-freeโ restful design with
emphasis on getting things done
โ Many ways to delete a Pet
7. How does it work?
โข Discoverable at runtime, not compile-time
โข Itโs just JSON
โข No server integration required
โ You can describe an API thatโs not even yours
โ Deploy anywhere! Put it on github!
โ Swagger is JUST a way to describe an API
8. But Why?
โข Machine-readable contract
โ Description of *everything* the server
can do
โ Server-controlled documentation
โ Server/language/platform/deployment
agnostic
โข Documentation, code generation,
client generation
โ Like Headers for C, Interfaces for Java
13. Client Generation
โข Requires a proper API definition
โข Type info, parameters, input/output models
โข Protocol, path, authentication
โข Templates are a starting point
โ Clone, configure, put in workflow
14. Client Generation
โข Configuration Script
โ Packages
โ Imports
โ Type Mapping
โ Packaging info
โข Group ID, Artifact ID, version
โข Templates
โ Boilerplate code
24. Evolution of Swagger
