Welcome!
How the book is being written, its structure and what we’ll be learning.
API Build Guide
Iteration 0 - Set up and Design Overview
In this “pre” iteration, we’ll discuss the tools we’ll use throughout our project, set up our development environment, and take a look at the design of our API.
Iteration 1 - Base API Build
Here we set up the base build for our project, where we will end up with a working API with Create, Read, Update and Delete endpoints that persist data to a PostgreSQL server running in Docker.
Iteration 2 - Deploy to Prod
In this iteration we are going to set up the pipeline that will allow us to auto-deploy our code to production.
Iteration 3 - DTOs
In this iteration we are going to employ Data Transfer Objects to abstract our internal models away from our external API contract.
Iteration 4 - Repository
In this iteration we’ll look at introducing the Repository Pattern to our API.
