For those working on / with microservices - You probably notice how many APIs end up looking pretty similar. Typically, when a new API is
needed, the quickest way to go is to copy an existing one and then remove all the bits that don’t apply. Of course this works great sometimes but it can get super repetitive and , let's face it, can feel pretty inefficient. Agree?
I think that ready-to-go templates (designed specifically for microservices) would be a great idea right?
In an attempt to streamline this process, we introduced customizable API templates within Fusion.
Here’s how it works:
Set up a base template for each API type—like GET, POST, or DELETE—and easily apply it to any new API in your project.
Organize and tweak the template to suit the needs of each specific project, ensuring everything stays consistent and aligned.
Bonus tip: Use pre-configured methods in your templates to save time. Start with the basics and adjust as needed, so you can scale without losing flexibility.
Using these kind of templates can speed up your workflow but also keep your APIs consistent. Instead of duplicating and stripping down, you can quickly create new endpoints and focus more on building and testing.

So, what’s your preference?
Do you want super-specific templates to reduce setup time, or more generic ones for flexibility? How do you strike the right balance between efficiency and adaptability in your API workflows?
