As software architecture design is evolving to a microservice paradigm, RESTful APIs are being established as the preferred choice to build applications. In such a scenario, there is a shift towards a growing market of APIs where providers offer different service levels with tailored limitations typically based on the cost. In such a context,...

Software architecture tendencies are shifting to a microservice paradigm. In this context, RESTful APIs are being established the standard of integration.
