Как спроектировать API, которое не придется переписывать через полгода

Запуск нового сервиса часто сопровождается жесткими дедлайнами и давлением бизнеса. В таких условиях приоритетом становится скорость, но уже через полгода структура данных и эндпоинтов обычно перестает соответствовать реальным потребностям продукта. На этом этапе раскрываются проблемы: новые функции не вписываются в изначальную архитектуру, интеграции становятся хрупкими — любое изменение вызывает регрессию в смежных модулях, а документация расходится с реализацией. Команда разработки оказывается в ловушке. Read more

Some developers have told me that the rising costs of frontier AI models from Anthropic and other firms could prompt them to shift to cheaper open-source AI. After all, when companies as sophisticated as Uber are accidentally blowing through their entire year’s AI budget in a matter of months, it makes sense to cut back by using a less capable open-source model to automate simpler tasks. (In fact, companies like... Read more
