    • Great deep dive into the ins and outs of API Products!
"APIs as a product" has been a common refrain as best practice for a long time, but up until now, there hasn't been a step-by-step guide that goes really deep. Bruno has done a great job in giving detailed analysis and actionable advice!

    • Great insights into API lifecycle development
I continue my technical reading streak and just had the chance to delve into "Building an API product" by Bruno Pedro. With our digital world deeply interconnected via APIs, understanding their creation and management feels essential, making this book a valuable read for virtually anyone in tech. There was a time when company I worked at shifted everything to GraphQL, and like many, I followed without much thought. This book was an eye-opener, presenting a landscape of alternatives that I hadn’t considered before. Bruno masterfully covers the A to Z of API development, from prototyping and testing to the nuances of code generation and server setup. What resonated with me the most were the discussions on performance testing and scaling, topics crucial for anyone in backend engineering but often overlooked. The book does more than teach; it equips us with the ability to question and choose the right tools and strategies in API development. It’s particularly special to me as it broadens my understanding of the backend work and how it is connected to all the parts of the stack, highlighting the importance of things such as thoughtful API versioning and distribution. "Building an API product" isn't just educational; it’s a resource that I’ll keep coming back to, proving its worth as a practical handbook in the evolving tech landscape. ... show more

    • Excellent read. A must read to advance your API journey.
I wished I had a time machine to get this book now and go back to when I started working on APIs. Many good developers out there need to make the mindset transition of APIs from being "technical things" to being products. This book will get you there. In the end, you'll develop better APIs (i.e. better products). ... show more
