In this chapter, we learned about the concept of REST and how to design RESTful APIs with an easy-to-understand naming convention. We also learned about various request methods and status codes, and when to use what. At the end, we revisited the Helping Hands application to list down the REST APIs that will be required for the application across microservices.
In the next chapter, we will take a look at a Clojure framework called Pedestal (http://pedestal.io/) that we will be using to design microservices for the Helping Hands application. Pedestal will also be used to expose REST APIs for various microservices operations.
