The document discusses the key attributes of market-leading APIs: API First, API Only, Microservice-backed, Cloud Native, and Extensible. It provides descriptions of each attribute and how they allow APIs to be scalable, globally available, evolvable, and secure. The APIs are designed to be accessible via SDKs and are compliant with open standards like RAML.
Why commercetools APIs are Differentiated
- 1. All Rights Reserved @2017 1 Metered Scalable Globally Available SDK Accessible Fast Extensible Microservice- backed Evolvable API First API Only Stateless Secure APIs Are Market-leading
- 2. All Rights Reserved @2017 2 There’s more to an API below the surface ✓ API First ✓ API Only ✓ Microservice-backed ✓ Cloud Native ✓ Extensible Has the market’s best APIs
- 3. All Rights Reserved @2017 3 API First API Only Microservice- backed Cloud Native Extensible Start by designing API first, then writing code APIs are the only means for accessing functionality. No going directly to database Microservices back APIs, allowing APIs to be individually consumable Public cloud multi- tenant hosted, stateless, deployed to multiple data centers, metered Four five approaches to extending the platform, allowing for ultimate flexiblity APIs Are Market-leading
- 4. All Rights Reserved @2017 4 Is API First 3. Generate Clients 2. Implement API 1. Model API
- 5. APIs Can be Accessed Over SDKs All Rights Reserved @2017 5 ✓ Type safety ✓ Open source / commercially supported ✓ Enhanced security
- 6. Open, RAML-compliant APIs, Available Publicly All Rights Reserved @2017 6 ✓ compliant ✓ Leverage large ecosystem ✓ Publicly available on
- 7. All Rights Reserved @2017 7 APIs Designed For Developers Not around the idiosyncrasies of the underlying monolithic application
- 8. All Rights Reserved @2017 8 Is API Only API 100% feature coverage through APIs - all functionality, import, export, integrations, config API Legacy Monolith Data Data APIs were added later, offering limited coverage. Must often go to app or database directly
- 9. All Rights Reserved @2017 9 • Each API can be consumed independently • APIs are backed by individual microservices – independent teams, release cycles, etc • Each microservice is scaled independently • No ordering of calls to APIs APIs are Microservice Backed Products Search etc… Application Datastore Infrastructure Application Datastore Infrastructure Application Datastore Infrastructure Multiple releases/day to production
- 10. All Rights Reserved @2017 10 APIs Are Cloud Native Stateless Geographically Distributed Scaled Independently Microservice Backed Metered Billing Cloud Hosted Cloud Hosted Geographically Distributed CQRS DevOps Polyglot CQRS
- 11. All Rights Reserved @2017 11 APIs are Extensible Events Custom Wrapper Inject via IoCExtend Data Model • Order submitted • Customer registered • Product published • etc Custom Code Custom Code AWS Lambda Functions Google Cloud Functions Azure Cloud Functions AWS Lambda Functions Google Cloud Functions Azure Cloud Functions
