Lifecycle of an API design
summary
Four concrete stages: write a quick start guide first to define the end state, model the domain (payments: saved cards vs QR codes), package simple APIs (example: combine customer+subscription vs separate calls) and run real integrations with friction logs and live error telemetry. Team does a 400‑page 3DS2 spec reading group, builds Stripe Elements and integrates with hosted checkouts, and sometimes alters the model (introduce a guest customer) to remove blockers so integrations actually work.
