Common questions
REST or GraphQL?
REST for most service APIs: simpler to cache, simpler to debug, and every consumer already understands it. GraphQL earns its place when many different clients need different shapes of the same data and over-fetching is a real cost. Choosing GraphQL because it is modern, then reimplementing caching and rate limiting by hand, is a common and expensive mistake.
How do you handle versioning and breaking changes?
Versioned from the first release, because retrofitting versioning onto a live API with external consumers is painful. Additive changes ship freely; breaking ones get a new version, a documented migration path and an announced deprecation window. Consumers who cannot move on your timetable are a business problem, not a technical one, so the window has to be real.
Can you integrate with a legacy system that has no API?
Usually. The options in order of preference are an existing integration surface, direct database access with a read model in front of it, file-based exchange, and last of all screen-level automation. We assess which is available and honest about the trade-offs - the lower options are more fragile and need more monitoring.
What do we get besides working endpoints?
An OpenAPI specification, generated documentation, authentication and rate limiting, error responses that say what went wrong in a form a client can act on, and a test suite. An API without documentation is not finished, it is just deployed.
