https://www.bookdepository.com/API-Design-Patterns-JJ-Geewax... I loved it, think it all made a ton of sense. Lots of code samples, no weird technology choices (normally they would do it all via protobufs and gRPC but they keep the same principles and…

Any thoughts/suggestions/feedback much appreciated…
