Microservice APIs in Python shares successful strategies and techniques for designing Microservices systems, with a particular emphasis on creating easy-to-consume APIs.This practical guide focuses on implementation over philosophizing and has just enough theory to get you started. You'll quickly go hands on designing the architecture for a microservices platform, produce standard specifications for REST and GraphQL APIs, and bake in authentication features to keep your APIs secure. Written in a framework-agnostic manner, its universal principles of API and microservices design can easily be applied to your favorite stack and toolset.

About the TechnologyStandard Python web applications, such as those you'd typically build with Django or Flask, can be hard to scale and maintain when built as monoliths. Microservices design makes it possible to isolate key features and functionality as independently written and maintained services. To take advantage of this more resilient architecture, you need to learn the patterns, frameworks, and tools that make Python-based microservices easy to build and manage.

APIs are your app’s front door. What if hackers already have the keys? Protect your APIs from modern cyber threats. Master OWASP Top 10 defenses with secure, scalable solutions. 

Secure APIs: Design, Build, and Implement by José Haro Peralta delivers a hands-on guide to building secure APIs. With Python-based examples and a clear focus on the OWASP Top 10, this book equips developers, architects, and security professionals with the knowledge and tools to defend against real-world API vulnerabilities.

Through practical examples, you’ll learn how to apply authentication and authorization best practices, enforce zero-trust security, and implement API gateway controls. The book addresses specific vulnerabilities, offering actionable solutions supported by code samples and testing strategies. Observability and monitoring techniques help to detect intrusions early and respond effectively.

By the end of this book, you will be able to design, deploy, and maintain strong APIs that are robust against attacks and compliant with security standards. It also protects your applications and your users.

Ideal for developers, software architects, cybersecurity professionals, and QA engineers who need practical, real-world API security solutions.
