Hands-On RESTful API Design Patterns and Best Practices

By: Anupama Murali, Harihara Subramanian J, Pethuru Raj

Overview of this book

This book deals with the Representational State Transfer (REST) paradigm, which is an architectural style that allows networked devices to communicate with each other over the internet. With the help of this book, you’ll explore the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA), event-driven architecture (EDA), and resource-oriented architecture (ROA). This book covers why there is an insistence for high-quality APIs toward enterprise integration. It also covers how to optimize and explore endpoints for microservices with API gateways and touches upon integrated platforms and Hubs for RESTful APIs. You’ll also understand how application delivery and deployments can be simplified and streamlined in the REST world. The book will help you dig deeper into the distinct contributions of RESTful services for IoT analytics and applications. Besides detailing the API design and development aspects, this book will assist you in designing and developing production-ready, testable, sustainable, and enterprise-grade APIs. By the end of the book, you’ll be empowered with all that you need to create highly flexible APIs for next-generation RESTful services and applications.

Approaching legacy application modernization

Having realized the need to modernize legacy software packages in order to be relevant to their stakeholders, partners, employees, and consumers, business organizations are asking their IT teams to come with viable techniques to speed up and simplify the aspects of modernizing legacy applications. There are a few strategically-sound application architectures, scores of methodologies, and best practices toward application modernization. Modernized applications are being readied to work on cloud environments, which are generally consolidated, centralized, shared, virtualized and containerized, and automated ones. In short, cloud environments are highly optimized and organized in order to be extremely and elegantly agile and adaptive. Applications have to be readied to run in clouds without any problem and to reap all the originally envisaged...
