The API Podcast with Fexingo: REST, GraphQL, and Modern Web APIs

Every week, Lucas and Luna sit down at a developer-focused office workstation to trace how applications actually talk to each other — not the hype, but the design decisions, trade-offs, and real-world failures that shape modern API architecture. Lucas, with a journalist's precision, lays out why a team chose REST over GraphQL for a payments pipeline handling 50,000 requests per second, or how a poorly designed endpoint caused a cascade failure in a major ride-hailing service. Luna, the engaged interlocutor, pushes back: when does schema flexibility become a liability? How do versioning strategies survive a decade of production use? Together, they dissect public postmortems, API design docs, and developer surveys — not to sell a tool, but to understand the engineering logic behind each choice. This show is for backend engineers, API product managers, and technical leads who need to decide, not just follow the trend. Expect no demos, no code walkthroughs — just two smart people reasoning about trade-offs in stateless design, pagination patterns, rate-limiting, and the cost of backward compatibility. By the end of each episode, you'll have a clearer framework for your own decisions: Should your next endpoint be a query or a mutation? When does an SDK become a maintenance burden? And how do you design an API that your colleagues will still respect five years from now? #REST #GraphQL #WebAPIs #APIDesign #BackendEngineering #SoftwareArchitecture #APIVersioning #Microservices #HTTP #DeveloperTools #APIPostmortem #PlatformEngineering #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Business #TechPodcast #SoftwareEngineering Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How API Idempotency Prevents Double Charges

    How API Idempotency Prevents Double Charges
    2026/06/08
    In this episode of The API Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore idempotency keys — the unsung design pattern that stops payment APIs from charging a customer twice when a network failure causes a retry. They trace how Stripe made idempotency a standard expectation, explain why a simple unique key in the request header is surprisingly hard to implement correctly at scale, and unpack real-world edge cases like expired keys and concurrent requests. The hosts also discuss how idempotency applies beyond payments — to order fulfillment, email sending, and any system where duplicate operations are dangerous. By the end, you'll understand why an idempotent API is a trustworthy one, and why you should always ask 'is this endpoint idempotent?' before building on top of it. #APIIdempotency #StripeAPI #PaymentAPIs #IdempotencyKeys #APIDesign #RetryLogic #DistributedSystems #WebAPIs #RESTAPI #GraphQL #BackendEngineering #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #APISecurity #ReliabilityEngineering #PostgreSQL #Redis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How APIs Handle Schema Evolution Without Breaking Clients

    How APIs Handle Schema Evolution Without Breaking Clients
    2026/06/08
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the challenge of API schema evolution — how services like Stripe and GitHub manage to add fields, change types, and deprecate endpoints without breaking their millions of client integrations. They discuss real-world strategies including additive-only changes, deprecation headers, and the 'tolerant reader' pattern. The conversation covers specific examples like Stripe's API versioning with a sunset date header and GitHub's 'preview' headers for early access to new fields. Listeners will learn concrete techniques for evolving their own APIs safely, and why breaking changes are not just a technical problem but a trust contract with developers. #SchemaEvolution #APIDesign #BackwardCompatibility #Stripe #GitHub #DeveloperExperience #RESTAPI #GraphQL #DeprecationStrategy #TolerantReader #APIVersioning #SemanticVersioning #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #APIPodcast #WebAPIs #IntegrationPatterns Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How API Gateways Are Becoming Security Perimeters

    How API Gateways Are Becoming Security Perimeters
    2026/06/07
    In this episode of The API Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how API gateways have evolved from simple reverse proxies into critical security perimeters. They break down a real-world case: how a mid-sized fintech company used gateway-level policies to block a credential-stuffing attack before it reached their application servers. Topics include gateway authentication strategies, the trade-off between centralised and distributed security, and why rate limiting alone isn't enough. They also discuss how modern gateways like Kong and Envoy support pluggable security policies, and what the rise of zero-trust architectures means for API design. If you've ever wondered whether your API needs its own security layer, this episode offers a concrete framework for thinking about gateway-level protection. #APIGateway #SecurityPerimeter #Fintech #CredentialStuffing #ZeroTrust #KongGateway #EnvoyProxy #APISecurity #RateLimiting #Authentication #Plugins #ReverseProxy #Technology #TechPodcast #APIDesign #CloudNative #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
