#### Episode Summary

There are about as many "first" approaches to software as there are colors in the rainbow. Front-end first, serverless-first, API-first, test-first, the list goes on and on. Andres Moreno and I cover what it means to be API-first, clarify the definition of serverless-first, and discuss how he managed to build a development process that follows both patterns. Learn about the tooling that helps this highly-optimized team push out high-quality code faster than ever without getting lost in the weeds.
