Скачать или смотреть The API Ecosystem: Standards, Implementation, and Best Practices

In this video, we break down the API ecosystem — what it is, how APIs work, and how developers and organizations can design, implement, and maintain APIs effectively.

We cover:

• What an API is and how it enables communication between software systems — like a waiter in a restaurant handling requests and responses.
• Key components of the API ecosystem including providers, consumers, gateways, and documentation portals.
• API standards such as REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC — their roles and differences.
• Implementation strategies like design-first, security-first, versioning, and monitoring.
• Best practices for building developer-friendly, secure, and maintainable APIs.

Whether you’re new to APIs or want to sharpen your integration strategy, this practical overview gives you a clear roadmap to understanding the API ecosystem and building better APIs.
