As a financial institution, security is of the outmost concern. At the same time we need to provide an always-on service to our customers. This means that we need to create resilient APIs and in addition we need to discover and connect to them in a secure way which exceeds standard service discovery. In addition we offer our internal developers the same promises as our 3rd party developers in terms of accessibility and backwards compatibility. Moreover, the platform needs to scale to support over 27 countries and thousands of engineers creating hundreds of services.

This talk takes us on a journey on how we manage, register, discover, expose and consume our APIs at ING in a secure and resilient manner.
