with Contracts
by
Dolganov Sergey @ Evil Martians
Why?
Over and Over Again
Ideal World
Example
Ossert:
- 4 APIs already depends
- Storage per quarter
- Non-incremential storage
Twitter API:
- Public data for last week only
Non-Increment al
Per Quarter Storage
Layout (for Ossert)
Incremental
Per Week

Make External API Dependency Healthy Again with Contracts

Make External API Dependency Healthy Again with Contracts
I'm gonna tell, how I went through a lot of pain while working with many services (Facebook, Zoho, DHL, eBay, GitHub, StackOverflow and more) using HTTP API. Eventually, I've healed my injures using a tool (with Design by Contracts approach under the hood) to handle all that craziness, and I'll share my way to handle instability and irregularities with external dependencies.
