Summary

API Orchestration with Connectors – Thinking in Entities` The article discusses how to build faster APIs by identifying and exposing entities already defined in REST APIs as connectors. It emphasizes the importance of understanding which objects in an API are entities, which can be identified by unique identifiers or URL structures. The article provides examples of exposing entities such as `Pet` and `Price`, and demonstrates how to connect these entities to other endpoints using the `@connect` directive. It also covers the use of multiple `@connect` directives and highlights best practices for designing connectors. The goal is to unlock existing REST APIs for developers by providing a better way to orchestrate API endpoints.
