Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.
I talked about this at SpringOne, APIDays and APIWorld and Netflix APIManager once stated 'this fixes everything we are having issues with'.
The original API pattern created in the 70's that we base the web pattern off of, binds communication data/logic to the controller in the API Service making it impossible to share this data in the architecture with other services without duplication.
Take the api gateway for example. It can only duplicate the data from the endpoints and does not synchronize them. Thus if the data is ever out of synch, it is PUSHING incorrect datapoints and information through the entire architecture.
The proper way is redefined through a series of talks and implementations I have shared with companies l Mashery/Tibco, VMWare, Amazon, Apple and others:
