Nordic APIs recently consulted CIBC bank on their microservices framework. We interview Eyal Sivan on their microservices strategy and how the project went.| Nordic APIs
What does it mean to design REST APIs? Asbjørn Ulsberg of Payex revisits his presentation from a past Platform Summit, reiterating his ideas on what it means to truly follow REST design.| Nordic APIs
Asbjorn describes a new approach to API versioning, outlining five aspects of smart API change management. Learn to adopt an API change strategy that avoids breaking change yet maintaining efficient development techniques.| Nordic APIs
Continuous versioning replaces typical URI versioning (v1, v2, etc) to withhold the server to client bond, equating to consistency and better API agility.| Nordic APIs
What does "serverless" mean? Serverless architecture offers an infinitely scalable cloud backend for APIs and web applications. Discover this new approach.| Nordic APIs
The Richardson Maturity Model is a visual pyramid to gauge the competency of your API. In this article we dissect each layer: Plain Old XML, Resources, HTTP verbs, & hypermedia. Much like Maslow's Hierarchy, the journey to realization is an upward climb; as your API moves higher, it becomes more fulfilled.| Nordic APIs
HATEOAS, or Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State, is a requirement for true REST API design. However, some shy from it, feeling it's too difficult to fully implement. In this post, we compare formats like HAL, JSON-LD, Siren and others to see which specs can make HATEOAS compliance easier.| Nordic APIs
In this tutorial, we walk you through seven steps for developing a RESTful API using popular JavaScript frameworks like Node.JS and Express.JS.| Nordic APIs
Hypermedia is helpful in many ways — explicitly in linking data and driving a complex authentication flow. Here we look at the benefits of using hypermedia in web APIs.| Nordic APIs
Authenticating with an API has long been the holy grail for mobile and web developers. Jacob Ideskog describes how a Hypermedia API can implement user authentication.| Nordic APIs
What do hypermedia-native web UIs look like? At our Platform Summit, Asbjørn Ulsberg described how to develop event-driven, reactive applications that follow HATEOAS.| Nordic APIs
Web APIs have been around for a long time now. While that means there’s a lot of great tools from a lot of amazing developers, it also means that, as a community, the API space has held on to some practices for a long time — some would argue too long in many cases. One ...| Nordic APIs
Passwords are extremely common but carry many problems. Here's how a hypermedia-driven state machine can bring passwordless authentication.| Nordic APIs
We describe what it means to be a "stateful" or "stateless" web service.| Nordic APIs
