Hey Jan! I think that API First is the ideal approach, it coincides with microservices then can reduce costs in addition provide better scalability and availability. Maybe I will talk about it in a next story. What is your opinion?

I definitely believe a product's success depends on how interoperable it is designed. Hence API First is the only approach that I would recommend to anyone. But I might also be a bit biased. ^^

I believe it is depend also on the product itself, but in general I would also recommend API First. If you want we can continue to discuss on discord we have a server dedicated to API and API security :) Nathan20#3270 discord.gg/Q3mCAJYZ
