How Waffle.io separated its API from its core web app #41

Closed burtonjc closed 9 years ago

burtonjc commented 9 years ago

At Waffle.io, we recently built a public API to gain access to Waffle's data (in private beta now). We knew we wanted the API to be deployed, scaled, and monitored separately from our core app. We also wanted the app to use the same API we were providing to our users. Carving the API out as its own service consumed by our app provided some interesting challenges and produced some surprising benefits. This talk will describe the design we came up with, the challenges we faced, and the largely unexpected benefits we received.

@iancrowther, thanks for accepting! I will most likely be out of the country on the 26th. Is there any chance we can bump this back to the next session?

iancrowther commented 9 years ago

admataz commented 9 years ago

hi @burtonjc - just want to confirm with you before I prepare the mailer - you're all good to go on Sept 23rd?

burtonjc commented 9 years ago

I am! What is your preferred remote presentation method, Google Hangouts?

iancrowther commented 9 years ago

fancy trying yodlr? hangouts and skype have been poor quality recently

you need bandwith and a good mic for the presenter with skype and hangouts

iancrowther commented 9 years ago

can test on saturday avo?

burtonjc commented 9 years ago

Yeah, I'm up for trying yodlr. Do you mean this Saturday or the 19th?

burtonjc commented 9 years ago

@iancrowther, been playing around with yodlr, seems like an awesome tool! How do I join the meeting tomorrow? Should I just join the yodlr room and go from there? If so, can I get an invite to the room?

burtonjc commented 9 years ago

Also, can people join remotely? The rest of the Waffle.io team is interested in watching.

iancrowther commented 9 years ago

iancrowther commented 9 years ago
