Come on – software developers know how to build APIs. Besides, they want to stay flexible and have neither the desire nor the time to plough their way through some endless set of rules. And even if you&#039;ve read them, that doesn&#039;t mean you agree with them. Fair enough. Nevertheless, there are a few challenges to overcome in software development, especially when working in autonomous teams and when you&#039;re dealing with business growth.
This post offers an insight into how we at OTTO came up with our own API Guidelines and implemented them successfully.]]></description><link>https://www.otto.de/jobs/en/technology/techblog/blogpost/why-using-api-guidelines-is-a-good-idea.php</link><guid>https://www.otto.de/jobs/en/technology/techblog/blogpost/why-using-api-guidelines-is-a-good-idea.php</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>.Enterprise-scaled Self-Healing StackSets</title><description><![CDATA[At OTTO, we need to manage several hundred AWS accounts for our product teams while balancing agility and control.
