A web API, like a website, is a channel into your business domain. Because of its simplicity, REST is the de facto standard for developing web APIs. But translating complex domain behavior to simple REST concepts is not straightforward. Tom Hofte and Marco van der Linden discuss RESTful resource modeling and share practical solutions to bridge the gap between a domain model and a RESTful API.

Service mesh discussions are dominated by vendors trying to frame mesh as a new technology. However, just as microservices are a pattern, not a specific technology, service mesh is a new way to deploy features that API management once comprised. Marco Palladino explores the service mesh pattern, notes the reasons for its emergence, and outlines the technical requirements.
