APIs are everywhere, microservices, event streams, integrations, even your toaster (probably). But as teams ship faster, API sprawl becomes the wild west: duplicate definitions, inconsistent policies, and “who owns this thing?” nightmares.
In this talk, Kaiwalya will show how Kubernetes Operators can bring order to the chaos. By treating APIs as Kubernetes resources, you can wrangle definitions, enforce consistency, and automate lifecycle management all with the same declarative workflows you already use for apps and infra.
Expect live demos, YAML (the good kind), and a few tales from the API frontier. If you’ve ever felt buried under APIs, this session is your survival guide.
