Title	Scaling API Design
Level	Extended
Abstract	When you're building a few APIs in a monolithic app, it's pretty straight forward. As new API products succeed and scale up, there are many things you'll wish you had considered. For instance, design consistency, discoverability, code generation, mocking and testing. If you add the right elements up-front, these concerns are trivial. You'll learn about some basic mechanics to build into your API program to ensure it's long-term success.
