Design and Implementation Strategies for Scalable RESTful APIs in Enterprise Systems
Main Article Content
Abstract
Scalable RESTful APIs are now the foundation for enterprise system integration, delivering flexibility, interoperability and performance benefits to digital transformation initiatives. The literature highlights some primary architectural principles, security models, and actual applications of RESTful APIs to determine methods that make them more scalable, fast, and robust. The study employs an explanatory research design that relies on secondary qualitative and quantitative data to analyse industry practices, models of implementation and case studies. The findings highlight the importance of modular API design, strong authentication protocols and good monitoring tools. These outcomes can only be achieved through robust API governance, up to date security practices and developer training that ensure reliable and scalable digital infrastructure.
