API development

Digital platforms that connect data, people, systems, and devices heavily rely on APIs to provide the complete and flexible integration necessary for their goals.

As the complexity of information systems increases and the pace of innovation accelerates, the importance of APIs and how they are created, used, and maintained has also grown.

We can help you achieve your digital transformation goals by enhancing integration, improving user experience, and accelerating software development.

Drivers

APIs are not a new technology, but in today's digital landscape, they have taken on significant importance. They are an enabling technology that opens the door to new paradigms, improving interaction between partner systems and internal systems, facilitating data access and sharing with partners to seize new market opportunities.

The proliferation of application services (SaaS) that expose APIs allows developers to focus solely on business logic and leverage third-party code reuse. Today, various auxiliary services, such as user management (SSO), newsletter management, SMS sending, and many others, can be integrated quickly via APIs. This accelerates application development time.

The Method

The use of APIs introduces interface standardization into the development process. Developers work with structured and standardized APIs that do not need to change their underlying behavior, regardless of the technology or components used.

APIs also hide the complexity of implementation and the underlying technology or infrastructure, bringing modularity and separation of concerns (SoC), allowing for decoupling during the implementation and testing of independent services.

We believe long-term maintainability is crucial. We constantly monitor operational logs. Our automated tools allow us to be proactive in identifying and resolving potential issues.

Scalability

We want web applications to scale quickly and make your services accessible worldwide without limits.

To achieve these goals, we use solutions like Docker with Kubernetes, Heroku, and generally the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform.

We follow an efficient approach: constantly monitoring performance and investing in optimization only when necessary, after gathering sufficient metrics, and perfecting the system with an incremental approach.

Security

Opening up company information resources for use in new applications exposes them to potential technical, reputational, and legal risks.

We believe it is important to classify the data being handled and identify weak points, then analyze and manage the risks depending on the context. While total security doesn't exist, a good approach does.

The use of a modular and decoupled architecture that communicates via APIs facilitates end-to-end security management, leveraging access control at all touchpoints.
