Introduction to Microservice API Patterns (MAP) Zimmermann, Olaf Stocker, Mirko Lübke, Daniel Pautasso, Cesare Zdun, Uwe application programming interfaces distributed systems enterprise application integration service-oriented computing software architecture The Microservice API Patterns (MAP) language and supporting website premiered under this name at Microservices 2019. MAP distills proven, platform- and technology-independent solutions to recurring (micro-)service design and interface specification problems such as finding well-fitting service granularities, rightsizing message representations, and managing the evolution of APIs and their implementations. In this paper, we motivate the need for such a pattern language, outline the language organization and present two exemplary patterns describing alternative options for representing nested data. We also identify future research and development directions.
