Design Principles & Commitments​

API Design​

  • RESTful Architecture: We follow REST principles for predictable, resource-oriented APIs
  • Clear Contracts: Every endpoint has a well-defined contract with comprehensive request/response schemas
  • Consistent Patterns: Common patterns across all APIs for authentication, pagination, and error handling

Performance & Scalability​

  • Global Edge Network: APIs are served from edge locations worldwide for consistent low-latency access
  • Response Time Guarantee: 95th percentile of requests complete in under 300ms
  • Efficient Processing: Optimized request handling and caching for minimal overhead
  • Horizontal Scaling: Architecture designed to handle high-concurrency workloads
  • Rate Limiting: Clear, predictable rate limits with burst handling for traffic spikes

Developer Experience​

  • Comprehensive Documentation: Every feature includes detailed guides, examples, and best practices
  • Interactive Playgrounds: Test and experiment with APIs directly in the documentation
  • Detailed Error Messages: Clear, actionable error responses to help you quickly identify and resolve issues

Reliability & Trust​

  • Backwards Compatibility: We follow semantic versioning and maintain backwards compatibility within major versions
  • Breaking Change Policy: Major version changes are clearly communicated with detailed migration guides
  • Deprecation Process: Features are deprecated with ample notice and migration paths before removal

Enterprise Ready​

  • Production Grade: Built for enterprise-scale with robust error handling and security
  • Compliance Focus: Designed with security and compliance requirements in mind
  • SLA Commitment: Reliable performance with transparent uptime metrics
