Java API Management and Microservices

Greetings!!

Technical Leadership

• Lead end-to-end design and development of microservices-based applications using Java/Spring Boot.
• Define architecture, standards, and best practices for API management and integration.
• Provide mentorship to development teams and conduct code reviews.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions.

API Management

• Design, publish, and manage APIs using platforms such as:

• Apigee, MuleSoft, Azure API Management, Kong, AWS API Gateway, etc.

• Implement API governance policies including:

• Security (OAuth 2.0, JWT, API keys)

• Rate limiting, throttling, caching

• Ensure API lifecycle management (design build deploy versioning decommission).

Microservices Architecture

• Develop microservices using:

• Spring Boot, Spring Cloud

• Implement service discovery, circuit breakers, and resilience patterns.

• Design RESTful APIs and event-driven architectures.

• Work with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

Cloud & DevOps

• Design and deploy applications on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

• Work with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).

• Implement infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation).

• Ensure observability using tools like:

• Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk

Performance & Security

• Optimize applications for scalability and performance.
• Implement secure coding practices and API security standards.
• Conduct performance tuning and debugging.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work with cross-functional teams (QA, DevOps, Product).
• Ensure agile delivery practices (Scrum/Kanban).
• Drive technical discussions with clients and stakeholders.
