Api Design Rest

Trigger Boundary

• •Use when service interface contracts or compatibility rules are being defined.
• •Do not use for storage internals; use db-*.
• •Do not use for CI release orchestration; use ci-cd-pipeline-design.

Goal

Deliver stable interfaces with predictable behavior and upgrade paths.

Inputs

• •Change scope and risk profile
• •Domain evidence for resource-oriented endpoint design and HTTP semantic consistency
• •Operational, compliance, and rollout constraints

Outputs

• •REST resource and endpoint specification
• •Decision log for resource-oriented endpoint design and HTTP semantic consistency
• •Verification checklist with measurable pass-fail criteria

Workflow

1. •Clarify outcomes and hard constraints for resource-oriented endpoint design and HTTP semantic consistency.
2. •Produce options and select an approach for resource-oriented endpoint design and HTTP semantic consistency.
3. •Evaluate trade-offs across security, performance, operability, and maintainability.
4. •Verify decisions using endpoint contract validation with status and error semantics.
5. •Publish decisions, residual risks, and accountable follow-up actions.

Quality Gates

• •Scope and assumptions for resource-oriented endpoint design and HTTP semantic consistency are explicit and reviewable.
• •Decision rationale is backed by evidence instead of preference.
• •Rollout and rollback criteria are defined when production impact exists.
• •Residual risks have owners, due dates, and verification steps.

Failure Handling

• •Stop when resource model or HTTP semantics are inconsistent.
• •Escalate when accepted risk exceeds team policy thresholds.
