A few months ago I was invited to EuroRust to talk about API servers and clients. When I worked at Cloudflare, I maintained a few API servers and the official Cloudflare Rust API client. There was a lot of toil and stress involved whenever the API servers changed: schemae had to be updated, and then so did clients.

When I joined Zoo I was very impressed to find that our CEO Jess Frazelle had already set up automatic schema generation from the API servers, and then automatic client generation from those schemae (in 4 different languages)! This made managing our API servers at Zoo MUCH easier than it was at Cloudflare.

So I wrote this conference talk aimed at my past self -- it's basically a guide on how to simplify your API operations.
