The start of my exploration on API’s.
Why?
The objective of the exercise is to better understand the different issues surrounding the implementation of modern solutions based on a deployable cloud API architecture.
Platform selection
Many platforms exist, see API Evangelist - August 2015

- Available in open source on Github
- BaaS platform or compatible with a BaaS
- Fullstack Javascript
- Stable release Github - Release
Finalists
I retain the following platforms in my initial experimentation :
My personal setup
To build my first projet, I will use the Microsoft code editor on an Asus UX305C portable computer. Occasionally, I use c9 order to have a fully available cloud development environment.
It’s a start!
