I’ve run into some of these issues myself, but this paper is still the best overview I’ve seen of problems you might not think about until they bite you.
I found this book to be a fascinating exploration of fundamental computer science topics and their relavance to every day life. From “optimal stopping” problems, explore/exploit tradeoffs, scheduling and more - this book gives hard numerical answers to problems we all face.
REST has ruled the roost for many a year now, but it isn’t the best solution to every problem. If you need something that allows your API clients to have more control over their result sets, GraphQL could be the answer you seek…
