API interaction types in a microservice architecture: queries, commands, and events
One of the debates that’s been smoldering since the microservices movement began is how microservices should communicate with one another.
GraphQL and the API gateway
GraphQL provides front-end developers a query layer that returns back-end data from diverse, complex sources in a friendly and efficient way. Learn more about the relationship between GraphQL and Anypoint Platform.
Dev Guide: Design Reusable APIs to Save Time (Part 1)

How I Used RAML to Embed a RESTful API into DOOM
When I was growing up, I loved playing the classic 1993 game DOOM. This is why recently, as part of a talk I gave at APIs and IPAs, I decided to do a demo of how I embedded a RESTful API into DOOM, allowing the game to be queried and controlled using HTTP and JSON.

Connecting anything to anything: How the MuleSoft team got a Commodore 64 to tweet
