Architecting eCommerce APIs - Gluecon 13

Saranyan Vigraham

The document discusses best practices for architecting e-commerce APIs. It advocates designing systems with everything as a service behind a single API layer. This service-oriented architecture allows different services and teams to work independently while still using a common interface. The architecture promotes principles like Liskov substitution and interface segregation to make the system flexible, modular, and able to evolve over time.
