  • Testing for Breaking Changes in Fastify APIs
    4 projects | dev.to | 3 May 2023
    Recently I was approached by a team that needed help testing their Fastify API for breaking changes. Fastify was making it easy to quickly ship a lot of new functionality, but breaking changes were making it through Code Reviews. They were not finding out the changes were breaking until a consumer emailed them — not good. The developer who reached out saw my work on the Optic project and asked for help.

    Our documentation sucks because it is time-consuming to do documentation properly.

  • Paw is joining Rapid API

    I've recently been using Optic (https://useoptic.com/) which does some cool things in the API tools space, there's potential there to have a CLI UI and they have the history part already but similar to what people are saying here about the web UIs, I don't like theirs much.
