What this session covers
What does it mean building REST-full APIs? What do you need to think about while building and maintaining those? How do we expose data (hypermedia), handle errors, version the API, provide contracts, etc.?
Join us for this interactive session where we will be looking at real-life examples, based on Jakarta EE and Microprofile. The knowledge you gain can be applied to other tech stacks you might be using.
Finally, what are alternatives to REST-full-ish APIs, like GraphQL or standards like gRPC?
