API Design Costs Hidden in Legacy Code
from The API Podcast with Fexingo: REST, GraphQL, and Modern Web APIs Hosted by Fexingo
Legacy systems are not just old code; they are expensive architectural debt that drains engineering resources. In this episode, we examine how technical debt compounds interest rates through increased maintenance costs and slowed feature delivery. We look at the hidden overhead of maintaining backward compatibility in REST APIs versus the clean break offered by GraphQL migrations. The conversation explores why companies like Spotify and Netflix chose radical API evolution over incremental patching. You will learn how to calculate the true cost of a single deprecated endpoint and why treating API design as a product rather than a utility saves millions in operational expenses. #APIDesign #TechnicalDebt #RESTvsGraphQL #SoftwareEngineering #SystemArchitecture #DeveloperExperience #DigitalTransformation #TechLeadership #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #APIEconomics #CodeMaintenance #Microservices #EnterpriseTech #LucasAndLuna #TechStrategy #ModernWeb #BackendDevelopment Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
