Using Design First to superpower your app development
summary
Design first shortens feedback loops and lets business, product and engineering agree on an API before code starts, citing a Postman survey of ~30,000 respondents where ~60% report some API-first adoption. A visual tool (a visual mind map) builds a TV‑shows API model (shows → seasons → episodes), generates OpenAPI in real time, publishes that JSON to Gravitee.io API management, and provisions mock data populated from examples so front end, backend and tests run in parallel — demo shows it deployed and working.
