Our journey to streamline API development though a spec-first approach: from OpenAPI to Smithy
**\- Olivier Melois**, Principal Software Engineer at Disney

**About Olivier's Talk**
We have 1000's of distributed services that together enable our subscribers to stream our content. Olivier will talk about our ongoing journey to improve service interaction and API development here at Disney, simplifying the organisational complexity that comes with a large distributed system. He'll talk about how we got to where we are: passing through OpenApi, and now leveraging the [AWS Smithy IDL](https://smithy.io/2.0/index.html) with our open source [Smithy4s library](https://disneystreaming.github.io/smithy4s/) to generate performant code for our services.

Olivier is a Principal Engineer at Disney, he's been working with Scala for over decade now. He's an open-source contributor and maintainer, and puts an incredible amount of work into saving himself (and others) the hassle of repetitive tasks. Olivier tends to focus on solving the complex software problems we're facing at Disney, providing tooling and simplifying concepts to enhance the productivity of others.

**About Kirsty & Laura's Talk**
In the "Monitoring at Scale" presentation, the Disney SRE team will explore strategies for effectively monitoring a global platform, addressing the challenges posed by its scale and high traffic volumes. Key topics include best practices for writing effective alerts to reduce noise while prioritising issues, and the critical role of Service Level Objectives (SLOs) in making data-driven decisions to maintain and improve system reliability.

Kirsty is a Lead Site Reliability Engineer with over 10 years of experience focused on ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of complex systems.

Laura is a Lead Site Reliability Engineer with a decade of experience enhancing reliability of services across sectors such as streaming, comparison shopping engines, multi-brand online retailers, and automotive industry.
