Beer City Code is an annual conference for software developers in Grand Rapids, MI. Software creators of all types are welcome, even those who don’t care for beer.
The main conference is held Saturday, August 5, with optional day-long workshops the day before, Friday, August 4.
This year, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from two of our experts speaking at the event. Here’s a closer look at their sessions.
Using a Headless and API-First approach comes with a problem. With only an API (or multiple) to start with, how do you know you are budling your project codebase (“head”) to account for best practices such as caching, security, and best performance? How do you know what path allows for the most flexibility with the least headaches? It isn’t the same as just having a database and template engine on the backend.
SaaS-based Headless solutions are a powerful way to build modern enterprise-class websites. They are also becoming more popular by the day.
Luckily, multiple solutions have now been built around these “API first” platforms. Some best practice architecture patterns have emerged as a result, and this session aims to share them. Attendees will see and learn these patterns for designing, building, and deploying Headless based solutions.
Leave the session with proven architecture patterns and how to apply them when working with a Headless CMS and API first stack.

Overview of how our agency structures our Figma files for ease of use throughout the design process. From initial discovery meetings with the client, working through iterations, gathering feedback, all the way to approvals, and into implementation. Our designers and frontend developers have worked together to develop a system for organizing our Figma files that works well for both the designers’ and developers’ needs. Creating a “source of truth” that all team members can rely on.
