Building your API stack
APIs are the backbone of modern software development. Whether you're building a startup or scaling an enterprise, choosing the right API stack is crucial for success.
API Design Principles
Good API design starts with understanding your consumers. Design your endpoints around resources and use consistent naming conventions.
Version your APIs from day one. This allows you to evolve your API without breaking existing integrations.
Tools of the Trade
Tools like Postman, Insomnia, and Bruno make API development and testing easier. Choose one that fits your workflow.
For documentation, consider OpenAPI/Swagger specifications. They provide machine-readable documentation that can generate client SDKs.
