When design Goes wrong in APIs

8. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
are doors to information / functionality and
therefore enable digital strategies.

9. But even doors can be poorly designed…

When does API design go wrong?
Design Build Package &
Deploy

Design, build, package/deploy and
finally try happens in a sequential
way leading to feedback loops too
late in the cycle.
Waterfall’ish
API design1
Consequences:
 Long process
 APIs very difficult to change
 Compromise on design
Long Feedback-loop

No design

reuse)
 Dependent on individuals

Avoid rework: feedback early in the
cycle
By getting feedback very early in the
lifecycle, changes of rework late in the
cycle are slim. Saving time and cost.

Parallel development: Decouple App
dev from Service dev
By defining APIs with API Blueprints or
Swagger, app dev and service dev can
occur in parallel.
Agile: be ready for change
By continuously verifying service builds
against API definitions, non-compliant
updates can be detected quickly.

First “native” hybrid API Platform.
Manage APIs anywhere (AWS, Azure,

Microservice ready. Lightweight,
easy to set-up and scale
Best licensing model based on
logical gateways –not CPUs

Stop the Slides –
Let’s Look at the real thing

27. The Lab – Your Mission …
Using APIary …
• Design an API that could be used to command a Drone
• Best API Blueprint provided – we’ll implement on top of a Drone SDK
• Make APIs accessible via API Platform
Then …
• Working on getting Oracle to invest in some programmable Drones, so next Meetup …
• Using Oracle cloud develop an App to use call the API & pilot the drones around a circuit
• Get too good and we’ll add API Policies to maker it trickier.
• Can you code like the Red Barron? Or land like Harrison Ford?
• We’ll be arranging a prize for the best API

28. Apiary & API Blueprint – Links to get
you started
Tips to get you going …

• API Blueprint Standard - https://apiblueprint.org/
• Tutorials –

• API Blueprint Spec – https://github.com/apiaryio/api-
blueprint/blob/master/API%20Blueprint%20Specification.md
Ask Luis, Angelo or Phil 
In terms of APIs needed – follow the guidance from Luis to design your APIs – think API First,
but to give you some ideas on the kinds of API that maybe needed..
