RESTful API Patterns and Practices

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

Catalog of reusable API solutions emphasizing concrete practices: make clients format-aware so new response types need only an extra parser; keep the API surface separate from storage so the data model is not the object model; have services register/deregister with a live registry for discoverability and graceful failover; prefer idempotent endpoints and small paged responses; express workflows as a job control language or use Ballerina-style DSLs to compose services without breaking existing consumers.
