  • Hypermedia Driven Restful API

    Hypermedia-Driven RESTful APIs, often referred to as HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State), extend the traditional REST architecture by embedding hypermedia controls within API responses. This dynamic approach enables clients to discover and navigate the API without prior knowledge of its structure, fostering greater flexibility, adaptability, and seamless integration. Core Concept of HATEOAS…

  • Designing RESTful APIs for Scalability

    RESTful APIs are widely adopted for building scalable and efficient systems, thanks to their lightweight, stateless architecture. Scalability, a critical attribute of modern applications, ensures that APIs can handle increasing loads while maintaining performance. Here, we explore best practices and design principles for creating RESTful APIs that scale effectively. Key Principles for Scalable RESTful APIs…
