This section explains how APIs should be structured, exposed, and integrated in a system. It's not about coding endpoints – it's about the role APIs play in system architecture, and the principles that make them scalable, secure, and maintainable.
Purpose of This Section
- Tech why APIs matter in system design.
- Show different architectural styles (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets).
- Explain API layers (clients -> gateway -> services -> databases).
- Provide design principles (versioning, error handling, auth, caching).
- Highlight best practices (statelessness, observability, DX).
