Microservices–The Enabler of APIs in DevOps
APIs should be in any DevOps discussion because they allow development teams to separate large applications into smaller, faster building ones. APIs also allow testing of a specific functionality just to the interface level to make sure your component behaves properly.
APIs should be in any DevOps discussion because they allow development teams to separate large applications into smaller, faster building ones. APIs also allow testing of a specific functionality just to the interface level to make sure your component behaves properly. In addition, APIs allow omni-channel (mobile, tablet, kiosks, etc.) microservices development to occur. APIs allow exposure to the functionality through all these channels. APIs are key because DevOps requires more frequent and hence faster build and test cycles. But microservices with APIs are even better.
