GraphQL and RESTful Service Architecture

The API economy has transformed how businesses create value by enabling seamless integration between different services and platforms. Companies like Stripe, Twilio, and Salesforce have built billion-dollar businesses by providing developers with powerful, well-designed APIs.

Modern API design focuses on developer experience, comprehensive documentation, and robust security. GraphQL is gaining popularity for its flexibility, while REST APIs remain the backbone of most web services. The future lies in composable architectures where businesses can quickly assemble solutions from best-of-breed APIs.
