Developer eXperience (DX) is crucial for the success of an API. That is 
why API teams build developer portals where the team can publish their 
API reference. This is where most teams fail. A great developer 
experience requires more than reference docs. In this talk Kristof Van 
Tomme will describe the upstream and downstream developer journey, and 
introduce the different documentation components you need to create a 
great DX.
