[Conf] Wetest Athens - Testing Openapi Definitions for Better and Consistent Apis
https://noti.st/christosgkoros/62Hs9L/testing-openapi-definitions-for-better-and-consistent-apis
Here, I present how we test APIs described with the OpenAPI standard internally at Postman. We will cover the objectives of testing, which include ensuring correct structure, completeness, consistency, uniformity, style, and documentation. Additionally, we will explore the tool used for testing, Spectral, and where testing fits in our software delivery lifecycle. Furthermore, we will discuss the challenges we faced, such as testing the tests, scaling the number of tests, and scaling the number of engineering teams involved, and how we overcame them.

Who said building robust, production grade APIs had to be hard? As we hope for all technology, the creation and design of APIs has only become easier and more accessible over time. This is due in part to today’s wonderful guest, Christos Gkoros, and his work at Postman as an API designer.
Christos comes from a software engineering background and he speaks to us about his journey to his current role.

[Meetup] Kubernetes Athens - Kubernetes Api Highlight Orchestrating a Flow
https://noti.st/christosgkoros/Agx6Fh/kubernetes-api-highlight-orchestrating-a-flow
This presentation explores the power of Kubernetes REST API in managing and orchestrating complex workflows within a Kubernetes cluster. We will dive into a practical use case of provisioning resources, demonstrating how to effectively leverage the Kubernetes REST API for this purpose. The session will include hands-on examples using Postman to interact with the Kubernetes API and making API calls to manage cluster resources. Additionally, we will introduce Postman Flows, a feature within Postman that allows for the orchestration of a sequence of API requests.
