PAIN POINTS
What are the problems related to creating, securing and testing APIs?
There’s so much to consider when you’re creating APIs. Security best practices. How to design for reliable, consistent performance. Whether you can automate your testing process. How to make your API scalable.
Decisions in each of these areas will affect the quality of the API you’re creating. A misstep in terms of security, for example, could result in data privacy problems. Failing to implement versioning from the outset could lead to backwards compatibility issues as the API evolves. A lack of automated testing could turn into a major time drain. Failure to implement rate limiting could lead to performance issues, vulnerability to attack and problems scaling.
Don’t let the long list of potential problems get you down. Instead, throw it all at Tyk.
