RubyConf 2021 - How to stop breaking other people's things by Lisa Karlin Curtis
How to stop breaking other people's things by Lisa Karlin Curtis Breaking changes are sad. We’ve all been there; someone else changes their API in a way you weren’t expecting, and now you have a live-ops incident you need to fix urgently to get your software working again. Of course, many of us are on the other side too: we build APIs that other people’s software relies on. This talk will cover how you can: (a) Get really good at identifying what changes might break someone’s integration (b) Help your API consumers to build integrations that are resilient to these kinds of changes (c) Release potentially breaking changes as safely as possible
