The backbone of powerful applications lies in integrating diverse services, A tech requirement I’ve perfected countless times over my 18+ years of enterprise tech development. Two key TechConcept for enabling these integrations are webhooks and APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Understanding the differences between them and knowing when to use each can significantly enhance your application’s…
In over 18 years of building enterprise-level tech solutions, one question I’m frequently asked by stakeholders is, ‘How do you ensure scalability?’ My response is always the same: through a disciplined, systematic approach as the system grows. For this, building scalable web services is essential for maintaining performance during traffic spikes and on demand future…
Error handling is critical in any application to ensure users receive clear, actionable feedback when something goes wrong. With over 18 years of tech solution-building experience, I’ve seen developers focus solely on writing code while neglecting error handling, leaving it to the testing team. However, by investing just a little effort into unit testing and…
Securing web services is crucial for protecting sensitive data and ensuring only authorized users can access your APIs. Without proper security measures, web services are vulnerable to attacks like unauthorized access, data breaches, and malicious exploitation. This guide covers key practices such as HTTPS, API keys, OAuth 2.0, JWT tokens, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)…
In new era of software development, the terms microservices and web services often come up when discussing scalable, flexible architectures. In my 18+ years of tech-building, I can affirm that while they may appear similar and are often used interchangeably in modern development, despite their similarities, they fulfils different roles and deliver distinct benefits. Understanding…
When building a web service, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is choosing between REST and SOAP—the two primary protocols for communication between applications. In my 18+ year enterprise building application, both protocols allow us to exchange data over networks, they have distinct differences in terms of architecture, flexibility, and use cases.…
Web services are the backbone of many applications, enabling communication between different systems over the internet. With over 18 years of enterprise-building experience, I’ve worked hands-on with every aspect of web services throughout my tech career.
