Economics in the digital world has evolved in parallel with those of the physical world — moving from a focus on products to services and, now, experiences. Joseph Pine and James Gilmore first introduced the concept in their book, “The Experience Economy.” There they observed that “getting personal with customers is the DNA of the Experience Economy.”
Developers will remember times when they were trying to figure out why something they were working on wasn’t behaving as expected. Hours of frustration, too much (or perhaps never enough) caffeine consumed, and sotto voce curses uttered. And then — as if by fate — the issue is narrowed down to a simple oversight that makes perfect sense upon discovery. Problem solved!
When building APIs for the first time, it is important to understand error status codes and how they impact the overall performance of the API. Error status codes are essential for ensuring that the API is functioning correctly, communicating errors and warnings to the user or system, and providing a seamless experience. It is important to understand the different types of error status codes, what they mean, and how to interpret them so that your API will function properly.
In this post, we’ll talk about what APISecOps is, including the fundamentals of it and the personas involved. Then, we’ll discuss how API, microservice, and policy lifecycles integrate to produce a secure service in production, and why collaboration and API-Design First are essential for APISecOps success.
Looking to develop more APIs faster (and securely)? Then you have some different API platform deployment models to consider. In this post, we’ll define and compare the siloed, centralized, and federated API platform deployment models — and dive into why federated API management is key to striking a balance between agility and governance.
