API Design Patterns: The 5 Categories You Must Know
Welcome back to our API design series! Today, we're diving into the five essential categories of API design patterns that every developer and architect should master:
1️⃣ Foundation Patterns: Lay the groundwork for integration, accessibility, and documentation.
2️⃣ Responsibility Patterns: Define the roles of each endpoint to maintain a clean architecture.
3️⃣ Structure Patterns: Organize data exchanges for clarity and efficiency.
4️⃣ Quality Patterns: Balance performance with resource efficiency.
5️⃣ Evolution Patterns: Manage versioning and lifecycle concerns to keep your API future-proof.
These patterns are your key to designing APIs that are robust, user-friendly, and scalable. Ready to learn more? Watch the video now!

Why not mix Persistence and API Annotations
Переглядів 814 днів тому
A common question in workshops is whether it's a good idea to add persistence and API annotations in the same class. Technically possible, yes, but from a software design perspective, it’s a definite no. You want to isolate your business logic from your API code as much as possible. APIs will evolve, and you need your logic to change independently from your API. Changing your database schema sh...
Code Annotations vs. OpenAPI: Pros and Cons
Переглядів 914 днів тому
In workshops and projects, the debate about OpenAPI generation often gets heated. Many developers prefer to "simply" annotate their code and generate OpenAPI documents, but this method poses risks. Ultimately, the OpenAPI description is the primary artifact distributed to clients, and numerous tools help manage the API lifecycle and perform static quality checks on these documents. The challeng...
Looking from the API Client’s Perspective
Переглядів 721 день тому
API First Design focuses on the client point of view. Often, developers expose existing data types and operations, but API models should reflect what clients need, not just what is convenient to expose. Thinking from the client perspective helps create better APIs. Consider what clients want, their use cases, the data they need, and how they will interact with your API. Do you know what your cl...
API First - what is it and why you should do it!
Переглядів 1221 день тому
API First means writing your API contract (e.g., OpenAPI) before implementing the provider and clients. This approach has several benefits: 1. It allows you to define your API from a greenfield perspective without being constrained by existing implementations. 2. It encourages thoughtful API design before rushing to implementation. 3. It focuses on the API client's perspective. 4. It helps buil...
API Diff’ing: Prevent Unwanted Breaking Changes
Переглядів 928 днів тому
Changing existing API contracts can accidentally introduce unwanted breaking changes. Adding or removing elements, especially in shared data types, might lead to backward compatibility issues. API diff tools help detect and block such changes. They allow viewing changes between API contract versions in a human-friendly way and specifying rules for allowed and disallowed changes. These tools are...
API Linting
Переглядів 8Місяць тому
When designing APIs, we need to consider naming conventions, standards, and design guidelines. The risk of accidentally violating these rules is high, even with the best intentions. Linters are tools designed to automate the checking process, ensuring your API conforms to formalized rules. They handle the boring, automatable tasks, allowing humans to focus on more important review aspects. Inte...
What is the goal of API Lifecycle Management?
Переглядів 16Місяць тому
API Lifecycle Management ensures that your API remains valuable over time. This involves listening to clients and the market, identifying necessary changes, and implementing them without breaking client implementations. Sometimes, breaking changes are necessary, which require agreed terms, timeframes, and notifications. Key steps include deciding on a lifecycle strategy like Two in Production, ...
#1 Pagination Error in APIs
Переглядів 12Місяць тому
I’ve seen many APIs where developers implement pagination incorrectly, often trying to handle it in code rather than the database. This approach can kill API performance and increase memory consumption. Instead, use page-based pagination configured in SQL or via JPA methods to return only the needed records. Avoid mistakes by defining a unique sort order, making your API more efficient. Have yo...
How to move API Clients to new API Versions?
Переглядів 15Місяць тому
A common question in API workshops is how to migrate API clients to newer versions. Addressing this question too late can lead to difficulties. It's crucial to define lifecycle management expectations before releasing an API. Without this, lifecycle management becomes a power struggle between clients and providers. Strategies range from cutting off clients after a transition period to reducing ...
Request Bundle - a hidden gem!
Переглядів 18Місяць тому
Distributed systems need a different design approach due to network latency and unreliability, leading to more coarse-grained API design. Often, APIs are called in loops, like booking different assets individually, which is inefficient. The Request Bundle pattern solves this by allowing all operations (e.g., all assets) to be passed in a single request, making the process faster and more effici...
API Patterns as a Language
Переглядів 4Місяць тому
The Gang of Four’s design patterns book is incredibly influential in software development. While these patterns are widely implemented, their names help us concisely describe design choices. For APIs, we're developing a similar language. Patterns like “correlation key” and “pagination” are becoming well-known. Creating a common design language with patterns will improve API design communication...
How to use API Design Patterns as a Checklist
Переглядів 7Місяць тому
Workdays can be chaotic, making it easy to forget tasks. Checklists help keep track of everything. When designing APIs, using a list of design patterns ensures you consider all aspects. Follow a process that includes reviewing all design patterns and deciding their applicability. This method not only keeps you on track but also documents your design choices. Have you systematically used design ...
What Are Evolution Patterns for API Design?
Переглядів 11Місяць тому
Evolution Patterns focus on evolving APIs by decoupling the lifecycle of API providers and clients. In large software landscapes, synchronized deployments are nearly impossible, making it crucial to manage breaking changes effectively. Patterns like Two in Production or Limited Lifetime Guarantee provide strategies for introducing these changes. Do you struggle with introducing breaking changes...
Performance Optimization in API Design
Переглядів 7Місяць тому
Performance of APIs is closely linked to the number of requests and data transfer. APIs involve remote calls, so network latency and capacity are key considerations. As an API designer, you need to decide which data to include or reference, and whether to use pagination or request bundles. Clients can specify required data using wish lists and templates, and conditional requests can optimize pe...
