About this Event
An evening in Paris with API engineers, writers, and CTOs on how to design, scale, and modernize API workflows with OpenAPI.
OpenAPI has moved far beyond “just docs.” Today it powers SDKs, enables smarter automation, supports AI experiments in pipelines, and even plays into performance and sustainability. This meetup brings together real stories from the teams at MongoDB, Booking.com, Algolia, and the OpenAPI community, showing how OpenAPI is used in practice, at scale, and in very different contexts.
