Development
Implement APIs using best practices and frameworks to ensure quality, maintainability, and scalability.
Outcomes
Section titled “Outcomes”- APIs developed using best practices and frameworks
Why it matters
Section titled “Why it matters”API development is a critical phase that determines the quality and reliability of the API. This station provides best practices and frameworks for API development, ensuring APIs are built to high standards and can be maintained and scaled effectively.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- Use established frameworks and libraries to implement APIs, ensuring they are reusable and maintainable. API Development Best Practices Guidelines promoting consistent, maintainable API codebases using standard libraries, reusable patterns, and aligned development workflows.
- Apply contract-first or design-first approaches to ensure API contracts are validated before implementation. Contract First Design A guideline advocating for API-first approaches using formal contracts (e.g., OpenAPI) to align stakeholders before development.
- Follow coding standards and best practices to ensure consistent and high-quality API development. API Development Best Practices Guidelines promoting consistent, maintainable API codebases using standard libraries, reusable patterns, and aligned development workflows.
Apply in your work
Section titled “Apply in your work”Provide development frameworks, libraries, and coding standards for API implementation. Ensure teams follow best practices and conduct code reviews to maintain high-quality API development.
