Strategies for Building, Scaling, and Debugging Successful APIs
Explore our comprehensive "API Development" track, featuring proven strategies, hypermedia semantics, and modern communication protocols. Additionally, learn essential techniques for building, optimizing, scaling, testing, and debugging APIs to ensure robust and high-performing implementations across various use cases.
API Design Patterns and Practices: Delve into a range of proven API patterns to enhance the stability and scalability of your API implementations. Create flexible and resilient APIs through design principles, testing methodologies, and maintenance strategies. Leverage RESTful design, asynchronous approaches, and robust error handling.
Hypermedia API Development: Explore RESTful Hypermedia APIs with frameworks like Spring. Learn about HAL, affordances, and JSON extensions through practical demos and source code examples to boost API discoverability and flexibility.
Exploring Modern API Standards: Beyond REST: – Learn about GraphQL, gRPC, MQTT, and WebSockets – their unique features, strengths, real-world applications, and when to choose each.
Optimizing and Scaling APIs: Scale APIs to handle high traffic load, caching, and load balancing. Explore rate limiting, API gateways, and distributed tracing for peak performance.
Testing and Debugging APIs: Perfect your API debugging skills with unit testing, integration testing, and end-to-end testing. Utilize tools like Postman, Swagger Inspector, and automated CI/CD pipelines to ensure API reliability and performance.
