REST

In 2015, a peak in microservices was reached: there is no conference without a Netflix engineer to sell you a dream, not a week without new magic framework to do it all without asking any question. Result: a focus on the tools and beautiful stories rather than substantive issues. It therefore seemed useful to us to review the architectural aspects of microservices, because choosing a style of architecture for an information system has structural consequences on projects lifecycle and company organization.

Over the last few years, the REST approach has become the new standard to build API on top of HTTP. In the same period, server-side landscape is facing huge changes along with the Node.js breakthrough If it's easy to build a small HTTP server with few lines of code of node, why not build a real API?
