Preface
As society and business have grown increasingly digital in nature, the demand for connected software has exploded. In turn, the application programming interface (API) has emerged as an important resource for modern organizations because it facilitates software connections. But managing these APIs effectively has proven a new challenge. Getting the best value from your APIs means learning how to manage their design, development, deployment, growth, quality, and security while dealing with the complicating factors of context, time, and scale.
Who Should Read This Book
If you are just starting to build an API program and want to understand the work ahead of you, or if you already have APIs but want to learn how to manage them better, then this is the book for you.
In this book, we’ve tried to build an API management framework that can be applied to more than one context. In these pages you’ll find guidance that will help you to manage a single API that you want to share with developers around the world, as well as advice for building a complex set of APIs in a microservice architecture designed only for internal developers—and everything in between.
We’ve also written this book to be as technologically neutral as possible. The advice and analysis we provide is applicable to any API-based architecture, including HTTP CRUD, REST, GraphQL, and event-driven styles of interaction. This is a book for anyone who wants to improve the decisions being made about their APIs.
