Date: February 11 – 13, 2025
Overview
Each year, 8,000+ developers, engineers, software architects, dev teams, managers, and executives from 70+ countries gather for DeveloperWeek (Feb 11-13, 2025, San Francisco Bay Area & Feb 18-20, 2025, Live Online) to discover the latest in developer technologies, languages, platforms, and tools.
DeveloperWeek 2025 is the largest developer conference & event series including the DeveloperWeek 2025 Conference & Expo, 1,000+ attendee hackathon, 800+ attendee tech hiring expo, and a series of workshops, technical talks, and keynotes.
This year, DeveloperWeek will feature an OpenAPI track. Stay tuned for more details.

OAI Workshops, February 11, 2025
- 12.00pm: Linting API Descriptions: Why consistency is king for Developer Experience! (Erik Wilde)
- API descriptions are describing the surface of an API so that it is clear how an API works. It can be a good idea to check these descriptions against general good practices or against specific internal good practices for API designs. Linting is the process that allows those checks to be performed, by taking the description, letting a linter inspect it, and then get warnings or errors regarding the API design.
- In this workshop, we look at the various motivations to use API linting. We then specifically look at HTTP-based APIs, OpenAPI as their description language, and Spectral as a popular open source linting tool. Spectral performs opinionated linting out of the box by having a set of build-in rules. Spectral allows users to add their own rules or completely replace the built-in rules. Spectral also supports modularization so that for example in larger organizations, different APIs can use different combinations of rules for various APIs. In this workshop we cannot give a complete tutorial of Spectral, but you will walk away with a good understanding of when to use it, how to apply it to your use cases, and what its general capabilities look like.
- 1.00pm: Introduction to Arazzo: Crafting API Workflows for Humans and AI-Agents (Frank Kilcommins)
- The Arazzo Specification, developed by the OpenAPI Initiative, offers an intuitive way to document use-case-oriented workflows across APIs. In a world where API ecosystems are growing increasingly complex, Arazzo simplifies the creation, consumption, and integration of APIs by providing a programmatically readable and human-friendly format. By enabling developers to stitch together API calls into deterministic workflows, Arazzo bridges gaps between business logic and technical implementation, enhancing both developer productivity and API usability.
- With its structured workflows and predictable patterns, Arazzo also serves as a critical enabler for AI-driven or agentic API consumption. By providing clear, assertable workflows, Arazzo empowers AI agents to interact with APIs in a deterministic and goal-oriented manner, avoiding ambiguities and ensuring reliable execution of tasks in a tooling interoperable manner. This positions Arazzo as a pivotal tool in modern API ecosystems, enabling seamless human and AI collaboration.
- This workshop will explore the key challenges that Arazzo addresses, such as managing API complexity, improving documentation, and enabling code generation for streamlined integrations. Starting with the motivations behind the specification, we will dive into its structure, including metadata, workflows, inputs, and outputs, and how it integrates with OpenAPI descriptions. Attendees will gain hands-on experience crafting and analyzing Arazzo documents to build workflows that bring APIs to life.
- Whether you’re an API provider or consumer, this session will help you leverage Arazzo to enhance the developer experience, foster innovation, and ensure reliable API interactions. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how Arazzo can serve as the tapestry weaving APIs together into seamless, goal-oriented workflows for both human and AI agents.
