Re:Don’t Build a General Purpose API to Power Your Own Front... by hot_gril on Tuesday August 22, 2023 @12:26PM (#37225016)
Yeah, our org has a big problem with over-generalization in our internal services that I've been pushing back on. Due to the large size of our org, they're under the false impression that our services are large-scale, but they're actually very small compared to anything external-facing.

When a partner team filed a feature request on our team, and I gave them an API that just does exactly what they need, they were like "that's it? No 1GiB graph response to DFS through?"
