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 […]
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.
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 […]
