Does it cover API versioning strategies?

Yes, the skill outlines multiple versioning strategies including URL, Header, and Query parameter methods to ensure backward compatibility and smooth migrations.

Does this skill support both REST and GraphQL?

Yes, it provides comprehensive patterns and best practices for both RESTful resource-oriented design and GraphQL schema-first development.

Can it help with API performance issues?

Absolutely. It includes specific patterns for pagination and the DataLoader pattern to prevent common N+1 query problems in GraphQL resolvers.

Can I use this for refactoring legacy code?

Yes, it is specifically designed to help identify action-oriented anti-patterns and refactor them into clean, resource-oriented designs that follow modern standards.

How does it improve developer experience (DX)?

By enforcing consistent naming conventions, standard HTTP status codes, and intuitive resource hierarchies that make APIs easier for third-party developers to consume and document.
