API-first

API-first is an approach in software development where the application’s programming interface (API) is designed and created before building the actual application itself. This means that developers focus on defining how different software components will communicate and share data right from the start. By prioritizing the API, it ensures that different systems can work together seamlessly, making it easier to integrate new features and updates later. This approach promotes better planning, efficiency, and collaboration among teams, ultimately leading to a more consistent and user-friendly experience in the final product.
