An Opinionated Guide to Bulletproof APIs (with code examples)
Writing a "Hello World" endpoint is easy. But building an API that is secure, observable, and capable of evolving without breaking every client? That’s where the real engineering happens. We often pollute our business logic with validation, security checks, and boilerplate, creating a maintenance nightmare. It’s time to clean up our act. In this session, we’ll move beyond basic CRUD to explore 5 essential patterns for building production-grade APIs. We will combine standard Jakarta EE/MicroProfile features with powerful custom implementations to tackle the cross-cutting concerns that matter most. The examples will be in Java, but the knowledge can be applied to the framework and language of your choosing.
