Project Summary
Codex Software consulted on the technology stack and designed and implemented a Java-based RESTful API to expose functionality of an analytical platform (SAS) for a UK IT consultancy. The API was delivered in phases, incorporated security and metadata/user-group management, integrated with the web platform, and received prompt bug fixes and ongoing support.
Key Challenges
- Need for Java experts to design a RESTful API for a SAS-based analytical platform that lacked a native REST interface
- Enable HTTP-based access to datasets for reading, modifying, and updating from any language
- Implement metadata, security, and user-group management through the API
Project Deliverables
- Java-based RESTful API exposing SAS platform functionality
- API endpoints for dataset read, modify, and update operations
- Metadata, security, and user-groups management endpoints
- Technology architecture consultation and phased implementation
Project Solution
Codex Software consulted on the Java frameworks and overall architecture, provided a phased implementation plan, and developed a Java-based RESTful API that exposed SAS platform functionality. The work included endpoints for data access and modification, and subsequent phases addressed metadata, security, and user-group management. The team provided ongoing bug fixes and supported testing via Postman; project communication used Google Hangouts and Asana for task tracking.
Project Outcome
- RESTful API integrated with the web platform and sold in multiple places
- Website for the API nearing launch
- Prompt bug fixes and ongoing support, with efficient testing through Postman
