Best practices for API development

We will start with discussing API development best practices because the API is the cornerstone for good microservices-based architecture, which in turn forms the basis of the IoT cloud tier. APIs in a microservices context are always RESTful interfaces. RESTful APIs use constructs of HTTP at their core and JSON as their payload for request and response. We will look at a few key aspects of developing an awesome API. We can develop RESTful APIs using frameworks such as Spring Boot, Node—Express, or Python—Flask.
