API Architecture
Versioned. Documented. Secure.
From internal service APIs to public partner integrations — we design endpoints that survive a redesign, a scale event, and a security audit.
// Versioned, signed, documented
{ "version": "v2",
"endpoint": "/api/v2/orders",
"method": "POST",
"auth": "Bearer + Idempotency-Key",
"rate_limit": "100/min",
"contract": "openapi.yaml",
"deprecates": "v1 (2026-12)"
}
Capabilities_
// 01
REST + Versioned Routes
Resource-shaped REST APIs with proper versioning (URI or header), idempotency keys, and conventional pagination.
// 02
GraphQL Schemas
Schema-first GraphQL with N+1 resolution, persisted queries, depth limits, and cost analysis. Lighthouse for Laravel or Apollo Server.
// 03
Authentication & Authorization
OAuth2, Sanctum, JWT, API keys, scoped tokens, and rate limiting. RBAC + ABAC depending on policy complexity.
// 04
Webhooks & Event Streams
Signed webhook delivery with retries, dead-letter queues, replay tooling, and consumer dashboards.
// 05
OpenAPI Documentation
Auto-generated OpenAPI specs from code, hosted as Swagger or Redoc, with example requests and SDK generation.
// 06
Backwards Compatibility
Deprecation headers, sunset policies, contract tests in CI to prevent breaking changes from shipping.
Deliverables
- API design document (resources, methods, error model)
- OpenAPI 3 spec hosted publicly or behind auth
- Authentication + scope/permission system
- Rate limiting + abuse protection
- Postman/Insomnia collection + example clients
- Versioning + deprecation policy
