Rebuilding Buffer's Public API

Session description

Buffer’s Public API has long enabled developers to build tools that amplify the power of social media management. However, as the landscape of social platforms and developer needs has evolved, so too have the requirements for a robust, secure, and developer-friendly API. In this talk, we'll share our journey as we rebuild Buffer’s public API from the ground up, embracing modern GraphQL principles and best practices. Attendees will get an inside look at our design decisions, from intuitive schema design to robust authentication, and how we’re ensuring a smooth migration path for existing users. We’ll explore how we’re balancing the needs of our developer community with evolving platform policies and technical constraints.
