Discussions

API

A follow-up from the API customers endpoint meeting - first funded feature :partying_face:

https://jamboard.google.com/d/1-Cr7ChJOI7gMwuDrBffOJ4epLPrJbJdrnUpPKR5-lF4/viewer?f=0

It was nicely scoped, and kept at a minimum chunk size, to enable faster delivery :muscle:

Testing and Documentation

In addition to the API docs generated with rswag and as seen under in /api-docs/index.html we need to document the outcomes of the API work to enable its usage.

This needs to be done with as low overhead as possible - as it will always need some maintaining - but it should enable the community to make use of new endpoints, and understand the possibilities they open.

There are different levels of this:

  • a tech level: documenting endpoints, what do they do, how to implement them => dev tasks
  • a less “techy” level: how can you use them to create value => non-dev tasks

@lin_d_hop will post a message on API to look for tools for this. @filipefurtado is happy to contribute. @RonellaG will post on #api channel with their documentation on using end-points.

Recruitment steps

We’re looking to hire devs with sys-admin skills, rails seniors. These have been identified by the most demanded / skill shortages in the team right now.
