API Blueprint is simple and accessible to everybody involved in the API lifecycle. Its syntax is concise yet expressive. With API Blueprint you can quickly design and prototype APIs to be created or document and test already deployed mission-critical APIs.

Everything I know about good API design

Most of what modern software engineers do involves APIs: public interfaces for communicating with a program, like this one from Twilio. I’ve spent a lot of time…

When talking about REST, it is worth reading the dissertation of Roy Thomas Fielding. The original paper that describes RESTful web, “Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures” Roy T. Fielding (2000), introduces the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style as a framework for designing scalable, performant, and maintainable networked systems, particularly web services.

Rolling versions: The new standard for API versioning | The Webhooks Blog

It’s beautiful to see the industry finally adopt a superior technique for API versioning: rolling versions. Last week, Sequence adopted rolling versions as the versioning scheme for their API. Ten years ago, this scheme was unheard of, but fast-forward to this day, and it is fast becoming ubiquitous thanks to Stripe for inventing and popularising this technique with their article — APIs as infrastructure: future-proofing Stripe with versioning.

I want to show how you can achieve it without writing a single line of code. The solution The main requirement of the solution is to use the PostgreSQL database. It’s
