Course Overview
The documentation for secure scalable APIs is accurate only until the next release. Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in the practice within technology and systems delivery whether or not anyone says so. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this part of technology and systems delivery to standardise and which to leave flexible. Practitioner evidence points the same way: secure scalable APIs improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. It concentrates on the parts of this strand of technology and systems delivery that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this part of technology and systems delivery are used deliberately. Participants apply secure scalable APIs to their own technical platform throughout, so the output is directly usable. The version of the technology and systems delivery capability described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of technology and systems delivery survives a hostile question.
