About Remon Sinnema
I work at EMC on a platform on top of which SaaS solutions can be built.
This platform has a RESTful HTTP-based API, just like a growing number of other applications.
With development frameworks like JAX-RS, it’s relatively easy to build such APIs.
It is not, however, easy to build them right.
Issues With Building HTTP-based APIs
The problem isn’t so much in getting the functionality out there. We know how to develop software and the available REST/HTTP frameworks and libraries make it easy to expose the functionality.
That’s only half the story, however. There are many more -ilities to consider.
