We’ve been building REST APIs for some of our projects. One of the struggles that I’ve personally faced was deciding on the URL structure for the endpoints. After some trials and errors and learning from others, here is a set of conventions that I think we should follow.
Regardless of language or environment, there are core principles we follow in software development, to encourage readability, maintainability, and joy. Each member of the team is responsible for adhering to these principles and guidelines and to assist and encourage others in doing so.

Expected practice, on the other hand, can and should be clarified–and if your team culture has “inclusion” as a core tenet, then setting clear expectations is essential to keeping everybody on the same page.
We found as development on ZooDB progressed and the amount of data involved increased, especially with intricate queries involved in each view, page loads became slower than we'd like. In this blog post we describe some of the strategies we used to improve performance.
OpenStack is open source software for running cloud services. Recently I worked on a Python program that would scan ARC cloud instances and determine which instances have been running longer than their allotted time. This mostly used the compute API which is a proxy for OpenStack’s Nova service.
