    second: prefer a "topic-comment" style API with repetition than flat API where it's up to the service what fields can be configured together. A good example is an API for defining http, tcp, or grpc ports

    What are some random API design choices that you like? What are some things people don't often think about when making APIs? Yes, I am building an API. No, I can't be more specific at this time.

    first: There's only one good way to do CRUDL APIs. for each resource you define top-level structs for id (key for resource), spec (goal state of resource), meta (timestamps, status, etc.), and version (revision of resource in the system). If you're daring List takes a filter.

    @yigalatz what's the recommendation for using corretto crypto providers? is the answer "whenever possible"? Or does using a corretto distro already get me the best implementation?
