Delivering successful API integrations
summary
Claims that designing the API spec first cuts integration failures and demonstrates it end-to-end: a 5-endpoint OpenAPI 3.0 YAML drives local and cloud mocks with Prism and microapis.io, generates Pydantic models via datamodel-code-generator, implements the server in FastAPI and validates it with the "thread" test runner. Initial run shows 5 tests passing and 3 failing; adding thread hooks to reuse created resource ids makes all 8 tests pass. CI runs tests on Travis and deploys the validated app to Heroku.
