Matt McLarty, Rob Wilson & Scott Morrison Sustainable and Scalable Access Control There are several techniques for controlling access to web APIs in microservice architectures, ranging from network controls to cryptographic methods and platform-based capabilities. This short ebook introduces an API access control model that you can implement on a single platform or across multiple […]
Distilling patterns and practices from the evolving ecosystem of APIs into recommendations and conventions becomes an essential part of moving from static platforms to constantly evolving ecosystems. Watch Academy member Erik Wilde’s talk at the October 2017 Nordic APIs summit in Stockholm as he describes the importance of finding optimal balance between complete autonomy for each […]
Watch Academy Member Mike Amundsen’s talk titled Twelve Patterns for Hypermedia Microservices, delivered October 2017. In this talk, Mike shares how APIs can best evolve over time and client applications that can adapt to those changes without relying on explicit versioning systems.
Watch Academy member Ronnie Mitra deliver his talk titled Programming the People Platform at the 2017 Nordic APIs Summit this October. In this talk, Ronnie explores the importance of organization and culture in building and architecting teams that can thrive in complex microservices environments.
How APIs fuel the connected car and why security is essential to IoT development From the outside, today’s cars look similar to their counterparts from 10 or even 20 years ago. But on the inside, they have been transformed by technology. Cars have retained their core functionality, but integrated connectivity, sensors, and systems have led […]
Watch API Academy member Erik Wilde give his talk at REST Fest 2017 on REST best practices. From his presentation: REST is all about designing and deploying services in a global decentralized shared space for information and services. The set of shared concepts used in this landscape is constantly evolving. One slow but important aspect […]
Learn how to apply a more traditional business canvas when designing microservices Microservices often have organic origins, emerging from the bubbling cauldron of existing monolithic applications to fill an immediate need. Given the desire for improved delivery speed that drive the adoption of microservices, developers often take a “code first, ask questions later†approach and […]
Overview The Microservices movement has caught fire in enterprise IT. Companies of all sizes are investigating how they can emulate the successes and characteristics of companies like Netflix, Amazon and Gilt. While much of the discussion around Microservices focuses on technological aspects such as containerization and automation, there is also business strategy to consider. View this […]
We know that in the software business, experience is everything. 83% US consumers said that having a positive customer experience with a brand is more important than the actual product. And we all know that making customers happy today can be tricky. They’re very sophisticated, with high expectations, and they want to make an emotional […]
The technical definition is….microservices are design patterns to turn complex applications into simple, fine-grained, reusable, and interoperable processes that can be modified and deployed independently of each other. Ok, a bit heavy…so let’s translate that, using some mental visuals. Imagine you’re 30 years in the future and you have a great family home, Jetson’s style […]
