Documentation-Driven Development for Python Web APIs

Explore documentation-driven development for Python web APIs in this 31-minute EuroPython 2021 conference talk by Jose Haro Peralta. Learn how to minimize API integration failures by writing API specifications first, then implementing servers and clients against those specifications. Discover the benefits of using standard formats like OpenAPI and Schema Definition Language for API documentation. Gain insights into utilizing mock servers for client testing during backend development and employing tools such as Dredd and schemathesis for backend implementation validation. Understand how to incorporate these tools into a CI server for code validation before release, ultimately reducing the risk of API integration issues in microservices and frontend-backend connections.
