Overview of this book

In the world of web development, leveraging data is the key to developing comprehensive applications, and RESTful APIs help you to achieve this systematically. This book will guide you in designing and developing web services with the power of TypeScript 3 and Node.js. You'll design REST APIs using best practices for request handling, validation, authentication, and authorization. You'll also understand how to enhance the capabilities of your APIs with ODMs, databases, models and views, as well as asynchronous callbacks. This book will guide you in securing your environment by testing your services and initiating test automation with different testing approaches. Furthermore, you'll get to grips with developing secure, testable, and more efficient code, and be able to scale and deploy TypeScript 3 and Node.js-powered RESTful APIs on cloud platforms such as the Google Cloud Platform. Finally, the book will help you explore microservices and give you an overview of what GraphQL can allow you to do. By the end of this book, you will be able to use RESTful web services to create your APIs for mobile and web apps and other platforms.

  1. The term Continuous Integration (CI) refers to a development practice in which developers can integrate their code into a shared repository several times per day. Every time code is sent to a repository, an automated process runs several processes, such as an automated build, testing, and other tasks that help developers to identify possible problems before going to production.
  2. Continuous Delivery (CD) is a software release approach in which development teams produce and test code in short cycles and go more quickly to production every time when there is at least one green build.
  3. Travis CI is a hosted, distributed CI service used to build and test software projects hosted in GitHub.
  4. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services that run on the same infrastructure that Google uses internally for its end-user products, such as Google Search and YouTube...
