Summary
In this chapter, we reviewed some important design -related aspects to consider while building API solutions. We also studied some of the recommended practices that can be easily used by development teams as a design checklist. Great API design requires discipline and constant attention to detail. By now, you must be familiar with the most common architectural patterns for implementing API-based microservices solutions. You should further explore the references and examples shared, so that you feel more confident while approaching your microservices designs in the future.
The practices and patterns discussed in this chapter are only a starting point. Building modern, API-centric solutions on the cloud requires a good balance between technical strategy and business workflows. You must experiment with DDD practices and use techniques such as Event Storming to model your domains more accurately, as well as to identify the various API microservices required for your solution...
