API Lifecycle - Implementation

The implementation stage is critical to the success of next-generation enterprises as it enables connectivity of APIs to backends or to each other through a systematic approach instead of point-to-point code1.

Implementation steps

There are two steps to the implementation stage:

  1. Building
  2. Testing

1. Building

  • Architectural Patterns

    The following architectural patterns are easily available to the API developer by using a systematic approach to building APIs:

    • Orchestration
    • Transformation
    • Routing
    • Data mapping
    • Connectivity across systems

2. Testing

The API goes through rounds of API testing to ensure it is functioning as expected after it is built, before being deployed. Test automation tools are used, integrating DevOps processes of Continuous Deployment (CD) and Continuous Integration (CI) .
