API Development in Bakersfield — FAQ

REST or GraphQL — which should I build in Bakersfield? +

REST is simpler to implement, cache, and document — ideal when you have a known set of consumers. GraphQL shines when clients need flexible data shapes, have very different data requirements, or when you want a single endpoint for a complex data graph. We recommend REST for most APIs and GraphQL for product APIs with diverse consumers.

How do you document APIs? +

We generate OpenAPI 3.0 documentation from code annotations — never hand-written YAML that gets out of date. The documentation is served as an interactive Swagger UI. For GraphQL, we use GraphQL Playground with descriptions on every field.

How do you version APIs to avoid breaking changes? +

We use URL versioning (/v1/, /v2/) for REST APIs and deprecation notices for fields in GraphQL. We maintain previous API versions for a documented sunset period so consumers have time to migrate.

Can you build a public API for our product? +

Yes. We build public APIs with API key management, usage dashboards, rate limiting tiers, and developer documentation. We have built public APIs for SaaS products that now power thousands of integrations.

How do you test APIs to ensure they work correctly? +

We write integration tests that call the API endpoints with real requests and validate responses. We also set up contract tests to ensure API changes do not break existing consumers. All tests run in CI on every commit.
