Session
This talk presents some patterns that can be used in the design of service APIs to help avoid the waste of resources in the exchange of information between two systems. It will go through different practices, discussing their impact on sustainability, as well as the trade-offs related to other quality attributes. The following are some practices that will be presented and discussed: (a) divide data retrieval into more granular services to allow clients to retrieve just what is needed; (b) provide parameters to customize the content that should be returned; (c) provide an endpoint that allows the verification of the last data update; and (d) adopt as default the option that consumes the lowest amount of resources.
