Microservice APIs: With examples in Python (MEAP v10)

Chapters 1 to 11 of 14
Tips, best practices, and handy Python features for designing better microservices architecture and streamlining API integrations. Microservice APIs in Python shares successful strategies and techniques for designing Microservices systems, with a particular emphasis on creating easy-to-consume APIs. This practical guide focuses on implementation over philosophizing and has just enough theory to get you started. You’ll quickly go hands on designing the architecture for a microservices platform, produce standard specifications for REST and GraphQL APIs, and bake in authentication features to keep your APIs secure. Written in a framework-agnostic manner, its universal principles of API and microservices design can easily be applied to your favorite stack and toolset.
 
In Microservice APIs, you’ll learn:
• Service decomposition strategies for microservices
• Documentation-driven development for APIs
• Swagger/OpenAPI specification for REST APIs and Schema Definition Language for GraphQL APIs
• Service implementation patterns for loosely coupled components
• Security and authentication strategies
• Deploying and operating microservices in the cloud
• Building microservices with Flask and other frameworks
