The AEP project (especially this Terraform provider) feels like a culmination of a large portion of my career. As an industry, we spend so much effort trying to manually translate our APIs to the tools that users use. AEPs are proving that better-designed APIs lead to stronger tooling faster.

They build upon Google's AIPs with a stronger formalization of the API design guidance itself, to: - Act as a reference point for organization-agnostic best practices. - Enable an official ecosystem of tooling to make best-practice APIs easier to build and consume.

2. AEPs include design patterns for common use cases such as long-running operations, resource revisions, filtering, with best practices aggregated from API design experts with experience at Google, Microsoft, Meta, Roblox, and DataBricks.
