Building and operating API-Based systems is an important part of any organization with a web presence. However, creating an efficient API platform from scratch is a daunting challenge for developers and solution architects. In this practical guide, James Gough, Daniel Bryant, and Matthew Auburn provide strategies for building, testing, and operating REST APIs, combining offerings at the microservice level using API gateways. They also demonstrate how to use simple additions to the infrastructure to help organizations transition to the cloud and connect internal services using technologies like a service mesh.

Readers will learn about fundamental API concepts and architectural patterns, and explore practical examples that explain how to build, design, test, and configure API-Based systems. The authors also discuss key components of an API platform, including how to use API gateways and service meshes appropriately.

Furthermore, the book addresses vital security considerations in API architecture, outlining how to protect data and APIs using technologies like OAuth2 and TLS, as well as how to perform threat modeling and prevent common vulnerabilities. Finally, the authors guide readers on how to transition existing systems to cloud- and API-Based architectures.
