What problem does it solve?
Developers often struggle with designing APIs that are consistent, scalable, and easy to use, leading to maintenance headaches and poor developer experience. This skill provides a structured approach to master both REST and GraphQL design, ensuring your APIs are robust and future-proof.
Core Features & Use Cases
- RESTful & GraphQL Mastery: Learn core principles, patterns (pagination, error handling, HATEOAS, schema design, resolvers), and best practices for both paradigms.
- API Versioning: Implement effective strategies to manage breaking changes and evolve your API gracefully.
- Use Case: When starting a new microservice, use this skill to define its API contract, ensuring it follows best practices for resource modeling, error handling, and versioning from day one.
Quick Start
Design a REST API for a new e-commerce product catalog, including endpoints for products, categories, and reviews, ensuring proper HTTP method semantics and error handling.
