Recently I’m involved in various activities around APIs and Microservices. Unfortunately, I discovered that especially in relation to Microservices, it’s the same setting as with Digital Transformation. Usually the topics aren’t put into perspective and therefore ignorance leads to the ‘Great! It’s new!‘ effect. However, a lot of the ideas, concepts, pattern and principles already exist, are well-documented and thus should be reused.
Therefore, I’m currently working on a new page called Reference Models and Architectural Styles in the Knowlege & Links section that aims at listing some valuable books, articles and standards in the categories REST, SOA, APIs and Microservices. You could think of those resources as a kind of foundation for the topics although they don’t build on each other in every case. I’m going to update the page, as soon as I identify further interesting sources.
Do you know further resources which you consider as fundamental in relation to the topics REST, SOA, API and Microservices?
Sound off in the comments!
