Storing large amounts of data isn't difficult, especially with the modern database and cloud storage platforms available. In June 2024, it was estimated that the world creates over 400 million terabytes of data every day.
That is a mind-blowing amount of data. 🤯
The real trick when building enterprise-grade APIs isn't storage, however. It's ensuring that all your data can be quickly and efficiently found when needed — by humans — who spell badly or type too quickly or don't really know what they're looking for.
Every API we create includes incredible filtering options right out of the box, and your consumers will love them. In some cases, filters may require rule-based policy management for privacy or other reasons, so we implemented that too.
Whether you need your resources filtered in a search-engine style index that tolerates human error or by a resource's proximity to a specific geospatial point, or whether you need equality, range matching, or to check nullability, we've got you covered through our standardized filtering query options. Of course, you can combine filters as well (although there are one or two exceptions).
You may very well be thinking that your developers will have to write some pretty complex database queries to make that work. Well, ordinarily, that would be the case (and would probably single-handedly cause this capability to be deprioritized), but the wonderful news is that the Cloudize API Framework will do it all for you at runtime without a single line of code being written.
Your API will more than likely never be judged on its ability to ingest resources but rather on its ability to extract and return resources in powerful and flexible ways — more than anything, this is exactly what creates a beautiful developer experience.
Cloudize is a leader in API design and development. By leveraging our skills and technologies, you can radically accelerate your next innovation.
