API Strategy & Practice Conference 2018

It is common practise to expose APIs of internal services, but APIifying external services / APIs is not so common. However, doing so provides many advantages! These include consistent interface (even when moving between external providers), tracking the internal consumption of the external providers or adding throttling to ensure you don’t accidently performance test on a pay by consumption service.

This session will go through a number of strategies for turning external services to Internal APIs. It will also look at the advantages of each approach.
