Strategies to Deliver Contextual API Experience
summary
Argues that APIs must adapt to concrete contexts and gives specific patterns and examples: use service chaining or eBay’s Coolio DSL to consolidate mobile calls; plan for huge temporal peaks (eBay averages ~2 billion transactions/day and hit 3.5B on a sale day); enforce federated identity with OAuth/OAuth2 and an open source identity layer and apply XACML policy enforcement to switch behavior by role; monetize via throttles or adaptive latency; build an app factory for vertical ecosystems (Boeing) and run compliant hosted app clouds (Betfair).
