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.
