APIs & microservices

Overview

The role of emerging technologies like APIs, microservices, DevOps and cloud is key in driving success and rapid technology adoption is critical for survival.

API helps to collaborate with internal and external partners providing secure access. By using APIs, organizations introduce innovation with great speed integrating with a wide developer community to build meaningful products. APIs enable data exchange patterns to reduce network latency, efficient data management over network for bulk data transferring, and bi-directional communications for data streaming
Microservices-based architecture helps to achieve zero-downtime resiliency even with a limited budget. Even if a module fails, the application still keeps running. Helping developers increase productivity enabling quicker time-to-market.
Our approach for a successful APIs and microservices implementation is driven by various usecases across industries.
