Building a scalable, and secure API (without writing any code)

Stewart Harper and Don Murray

Who are we and what are we about?

Why should you care about creating APIs?

1. Provide developers with a stable, clear interface to your core business processes and data.

2. Decouple your data and business logic from your public interface.

3. Providing modern interface on top of legacy applications.

From our last API webinar:

75% of data experts intend to use APIs to access data over the web.

Evolution of the API● API management and security● The interface itself (resources, methods etc).● The business logic that is tied to each resource.

When is the codeless API a good fit?

● You don’t have access to developers to build the API.

● Agility is key and you wish to create an API quickly.

● You are prototyping a new service. Don’t just put a website up for beta users—get an API in front of them.

● If it’s a large complex API with a lot of calls.

● If you are going to be processing millions of requests you will likely need to optimize.

When is the codeless API not a good fit?
