In this chapter, we covered some of the key concerns when trying to build your XaaS provider. We also covered the other side of the spectrum, where we saw the typical services that are available to build an application.
In the next chapter, we will cover API best practices, where we will see how to design consumer-centric APIs that are granular and functionality-oriented. We will also discuss the best practices in API design concerns, such as how to identify the resources that will be used to form the API, how to categorize the APIs, API error handling, API versioning, and so on.
