With an understanding of the existing landscape and where we need to get to go, working with an approach of a minimal viable product and API 1st in terms of solution for MRA, we can sketch out a roadmap which the following chapters will follow, as shown in the following diagram:
Details of this lifecycle will become clearer in the following chapters. The following table provides a brief summary of each phase shown in the preceding diagram:
|
Phase |
Description |
|

This defines the API specification showing how the payload will be structured and communicated. |
|
Client Implementation |
This builds the application that can consume/use the API. |
|
API App (provide implementation) |
This builds the solution that will act upon the invocation of the API. |
