Not too long ago I had written about creating an API with Node.js and Express that accepted image uploads and manipulated the images to be Android compliant before returning them in a ZIP archive. This article was titled, Create an Android Launcher Icon Generator RESTful API with Node.js, and Jimp , and it was a great example of creating APIs that that did most of their work in memory.

A process to build RESTful APIs that solve users’ needs with simplicity, reliability, and performance. Every piece of software exists to solve a real-world problem. Directly or indirectly. Most web APIs are consumed by client applications running on PCs, mobile devices, etc., which in turn are used by humans. Despite being consumed directly by machines, APIs are made to satisfy the needs of human beings, so designing them should follow a user-centered process, but often it doesn’t.

When it comes to serverless solutions, there are many options available. If you’re a fan of the Microsoft cloud, you could create Azure Functions. If you’ve been keeping up, I wrote a tutorial called, Take a Node.js with Express API Serverless Using AWS Lambda , which used the Amazon Web Services cloud. Another solution is Apache OpenWhisk , a solution available on IBM’s Bluemix cloud.

Cheap storage and on-demand compute in the cloud coupled with the emergence of new big data frameworks and tools are forcing us to rethink the whole ETL and data warehousing architecture. There is a strong argument for ELT i.e. extract, load, and transform model. Classic ETL. In classic Extract, transform, and load (ETL) model, we store entities in their corresponding application databases i.e. as rows in the relational tables.
