What is REST? 🛠️🧵
REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for building web services and APIs.
In a RESTful architecture, resources are identified by URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers), and operations are performed on those resources using standard HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.
The state of a resource is represented in JSON or XML, which is transferred between the client and server in the HTTP request and response bodies.
One of the key principles of REST is the separation of concerns between the client and server.

The server is responsible for managing the resources and performing the requested operations, while the client is responsible for generating requests and interpreting the responses.
This allows for greater flexibility and modifiability, as changes to the server do not necessarily require changes to the client.

What are the different types of APIs? 🚀🧵 Image
1. Private APIs

(1/3) Private APIs, also known as internal APIs, are used to connect different software components within a single organization, and they are not available for third-party use.
(2/3) For instance, a social media application might have a private API that handles the login workflow, another private API that handles the feed, and another private API that facilitates communication between users.

Monolith vs Microservices ⚙️🧵⤵️ Image
A monolith is an application that is developed and deployed as a single unit.

Its components are tightly coupled within a single codebase, and they often share resources, such as databases or libraries.
Monolithic architectures have a long history and are still present in many legacy systems, but they also present several challenges.

For instance, monoliths must be scaled as a whole, even if only a single component requires additional resources.

4 types of API testing 🧪🧵👇 Image
There are many ways to test an API, and each one serves a unique purpose.

The list represents four of the most common approaches, but there are endless variations within each category that teams can use to build a customized API testing strategy.
1. Contract testing

An API contract is a human- and machine-readable representation of an API's intended functionality.

It establishes a single source of truth for what each request and response should look like and forms the basis of SLAs between producers and consumers.

Private vs Public API catalogs 🗂️ 🧵 Image
Both private and public API catalogs make it easier for API consumers to find the APIs that meet their needs, but each type of catalog has several distinct benefits.
A private API catalog is a unified hub for every internal API within an organization.

These catalogs provide complete visibility into an organization's overall API landscape, which benefits developers and business leaders alike.
