Restful Web API Patterns & Practices Cookbook • Mike Amundsen & Alianna Inzana

Security

Here is the rewritten meta description: "Join Mike Amundsen and Alianna Inzana as they dive into advanced API design patterns and practices, covering strategies for security, resilience, scalability, and more."

Key takeaways

Restful Web API design should consider data as a liability and a challenge, not an asset.
Collaboration and risk are essential concepts to consider when designing APIs.
Designing systems with security built-in, rather than as an afterthought, is crucial.
The book’s focus is on providing a higher-level, abstracted approach to API design, rather than a cookbook-style solution.
The idea of “jobs to be done” is important, as it helps designers understand the needs and pain points of their users.
The concept of workflow is a key aspect of API design, and involves designing systems that can evolve and adapt over time.
The book emphasizes the importance of anticipating future states and possibilities, rather than just focusing on current needs.
The idea of “over-architecting” and “under-building” is also emphasized, which involves designing systems that are flexible and can adapt to changing needs.
The book provides a framework for designing APIs that can be used by both producers and consumers, and encourages designers to think about the needs and pain points of their users.
The concept of “event storming” is introduced, which involves designing systems that can handle unexpected events and failures.
The idea of “event-driven architecture” is also discussed, which involves designing systems that can react to dynamic events and changes.
The book emphasizes the importance of security and resilience in API design.
The concept of “API-first” design is introduced, which involves designing APIs that can be used as the foundation for other systems and services.
The book provides a set of recipes and patterns for designing APIs that are secure, resilient, and scalable.
The idea of “API-gateways” is introduced, which involves designing systems that can act as a single entry point for multiple APIs.
The concept of “API-orchestration” is also discussed, which involves designing systems that can coordinate and manage multiple APIs and services.
The book encourages designers to think about the needs and pain points of their users, and to design systems that can adapt to changing conditions.
The concept of “API-driven” design is introduced, which involves designing systems that can be driven by APIs and other external factors.
The book emphasizes the importance of documentation and support for API design, and provides a set of tools and resources for designers to use.
