summary
Claims concrete outcomes: at Turo API‑first workflow uses OpenAPI 3.0, design tools like Stoplight Swagger Postman, and a pattern of define contract → implement → test → deploy. Mocking and loose coupling enable independent scaling, versioning plus API gateways and audits handle security, and adoption numbers report 29% improved developer experience and 35% higher API adoption. Notes on pitfalls: steep learning curve, strict versioning policies, and regular documentation updates.
