Most organizations with a web presence build and operate Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), which serve as the gateway for customers to interact with the company's services. The design, development, and management of these critical programs impact every individual within the organization, ranging from engineers and product owners to C-suite executives. However, the true challenge for developers and solution architects lies in creating an API platform from scratch. This practical book aims to provide valuable strategies for building and testing REST APIs that leverage API gateways to combine offerings at the microservice level. Authored by James Gough, Daniel Bryant, and Matthew Auburn, the book showcases how simple additions to this infrastructure can facilitate the migration of engineers and organizations to the cloud, while also opening up opportunities to connect internal services using technologies like service mesh.
In this comprehensive guide, readers will delve into the fundamentals of API architecture and explore architectural patterns for building an API platform. The book also delves into evolving trends such as asynchronous and streaming APIs, which are crucial in today's interconnected world. By performing an informed architectural role, readers will be equipped to drive their API program forward and make informed decisions that impact the success of their organization.
The book covers a wide range of topics, including API fundamentals, architectural patterns, evolving trends, driving API programs, building and configuring key components of an API platform, deploying gateways and service meshes based on case studies, understanding core security and vulnerabilities in API architecture, securing data and services using OAuth 2.0, Transport Layer Security (TLS), and web application firewalls.
With its comprehensive coverage and practical insights, this book is a valuable resource for developers, solution architects, and anyone involved in building and operating APIs. Whether you are a seasoned API professional or just starting your journey, this book will provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to succeed in the fast-paced world of API development.
