The 2002 Bezos API Mandate helped Amazon scale their business, and formed much of the modern thought around APIs and microservices. But was this memo real, or just myth?

How to integrate with Stripe using /events and not webhooks

An interesting approach to exposing microservices through GraphQL

A good read (haven't had the opportunity yet, but comes highly recommended from Jon Moter @ Zendesk).

Next time I want to look for best practices, I will search for "api wrapper in ruby" instead of "API client", because the former yields more results.

I get it, REST is a complex topic. Too many people think they understand it, and are falsely validated when they bump into other people who don't understand it. Folks everywhere are building RESTish APIs which are basically just RPC + HTTP verbs + Pretty URLs, and as that doesn't seem very helpful they write giant articles explaining why that's not very useful…

A tool to explore the web and the undocumented APIs in order to make your own Java / JavaScript API directly usable from scratch! Awesome!
