Questions
REST is simpler and better for public APIs with predictable data needs. GraphQL excels when clients need flexible queries or you want to reduce API calls.
We use URL versioning (v1, v2) for major changes and additive changes for minor updates, ensuring backward compatibility.
Yes — we have experience integrating with hundreds of third-party APIs including Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, SAP, and custom enterprise systems.
We implement OAuth 2.0, API keys, rate limiting, input validation, CORS policies, and encryption for all API communications.
We optimise with caching (Redis), pagination, compression, connection pooling, and CDN distribution for global performance.
