Automate Building Of Your REST API, Admin Panel, and Postman Documentation
A great means of scaling any application online is to separate your user interface from the data layer using an Application Programming Interface (API). If you’re new to development, an API is a pretty simple concept. Just as you log in and use a web application via a browser and a series of HTTP requests, your application can do the same thing via a REST API and programming.
As many people get into programming, they program a user interface and interact with their database directly. That’s great if it’s a small application and you don’t foresee ever changing the user interface, the database, or scale the application. But… when you need to do any of the above, now your hard-coded integration between your front-end and your database needs to be updated.
Developing an API between your front-end and back-end provides a layer of independence between the to that enables you to enhance and scale your platform. When we built our IP Warming application recently, we developed APIs and incorporated others… from email cleansing, to mail server lookup, to application storage, through to payment processing. The application is a mashup of multiple services and platforms. By building APIs, it freed up our developers to be more agile as well as make our architecture more scalable.
Designing an API helps you expand your offerings from just being a platform with a user interface to also being a service that others can integrate and utilize as needed. As companies look to digitally transform, APIs are a necessity. As a platform, having companies fully integrated via your API is also very sticky… once they integrate, they don’t often want to leave since there’s a cost to re-integration with their new platform.
