Book Description
Master the art of building high-quality, stable, and observable APIs with this hands-on guide—perfect for developers and architects looking to elevate their API game and ensure their projects are reliable, maintainable, and scalable.
This book is a practical guide to improving the quality, stability, and observability of your APIs. Through a combination of theoretical insights and a hands-on example project, you’ll learn how to create and maintain production-grade APIs that meet high standards of excellence. Better APIs: Quality, Stability, Observability is designed for developers and architects who want to deepen their understanding of API development and ensure their APIs are reliable, maintainable, and easy to monitor.
APIs are the backbone of modern software architecture, and ensuring they are of high quality, stable, and observable is critical to the success of any software project. This book provides you with the tools and knowledge to create APIs that meet these criteria, helping you avoid common pitfalls and ensuring your APIs can scale and evolve over time.
Among other things, you’ll learn:
How to build APIs that are well-architected, secure, and maintainable.
Strategies for ensuring the stability of your APIs, allowing them to withstand external pressures and internal changes without compromising their core functionality.
Techniques for enhancing observability, giving you the tools to monitor and understand your API’s behavior in real-time, ensuring it’s performing as expected.
Practical methods for implementing continuous integration and deployment, automated testing, and proper documentation to support your API’s lifecycle.
How to apply these concepts to a real-world project, using the example of a fictional scenario to demonstrate best practices and common pitfalls.
