Abstract

Microservice Architecture (MSA) is a standard for solving the technical challenges of distributed software systems. Design methodologies assist in making decisions about the functionality encapsulated by each microservice in a system. Despite the documentation supporting microservice design, challenges remain in defining microservice boundaries and concise APIs exposing business capacities of the modern distributed, data-intensive, microservice-based system. API-First Design is an emerging methodology for enterprise system design. Its primary principle suggests that software design focus on well-defined APIs as its foundation. In its infancy, research, documentation, and tools that assist in adopting an API-First Design approach are minimal. The project discussed in this paper provides the research community with a set of practitioner-defined features and a prototype for an application intended to help promote the adoption of API-First Design via an API-Driven UI design and code generation application.

API集成器:一个支持API优先设计的UI设计和代码自动化应用程序

微服务架构(MSA)是解决分布式软件系统技术难题的标准。设计方法有助于对系统中每个微服务封装的功能做出决策。尽管有支持微服务设计的文档，但在定义微服务边界和简明api方面仍然存在挑战，这些api暴露了现代分布式、数据密集型、基于微服务的系统的业务能力。api优先设计是一种新兴的企业系统设计方法。它的主要原则表明，软件设计应以定义良好的api为基础。在其初期，帮助采用api优先设计方法的研究、文档和工具很少。本文中讨论的项目为研究社区提供了一组从业者定义的特性和应用程序原型，旨在通过api驱动的UI设计和代码生成应用程序来帮助促进api优先设计的采用。
