API design
Well-structured, versioned APIs that are easy to consume and extend.
// Software · APIs
Secure, documented REST and GraphQL APIs that connect shops, ERPs, apps and partners — the backbone of integrated systems.
// What you get
Well-structured, versioned APIs that are easy to consume and extend.
OAuth, tokens and API keys with roles and rate limiting.
Connect Shopware, ERP, CRM, payment and shipping systems.
Event-driven webhooks so systems react in real time.
OpenAPI/Swagger docs so any developer can integrate quickly.
Validated, tested and secured against common API vulnerabilities.
// Why it matters
Modern businesses run on APIs — connecting the shop to the ERP, the app to the backend, and your systems to partners. Codewerk Solutions designs and builds secure, well-documented REST and GraphQL APIs in Node.js, with proper authentication, roles, rate limiting and webhooks. Every API ships with OpenAPI documentation so it's easy to integrate and maintain.
Whether you're exposing data to a partner, powering a mobile app, or tying your internal tools together, we build the API layer your architecture depends on.
// In detail
What we actually do under the hood — so you can judge the work, not just the promise.
REST with a documented OpenAPI specification, versioned from day one, with meaningful HTTP status codes and error bodies a client can act on. We use GraphQL where many different clients need different slices of the same data — and REST everywhere caching matters.
REST caches beautifully at the HTTP layer: a URL is a cache key that Varnish and CDNs understand for free. We paginate everything (even a small catalogue eventually meets a client with 300,000 products), and aggregate in the database rather than pulling 40,000 rows to count them.
OAuth2 or signed tokens, scoped permissions per client, rate limiting, and every inbound webhook signature verified — an unverified webhook endpoint is an open door that anyone on the internet can use to move your customers' orders around.
// FAQ
REST for catalogue and checkout, where HTTP caching and simplicity win. GraphQL for internal dashboards and partner portals, where flexibility wins and traffic is predictable. Mixing both is normal and not a failure.
Yes. We reverse-engineer the current behaviour into an OpenAPI spec, flag the inconsistencies we find, and then you decide what to fix versus what to keep for backwards compatibility.
Explicitly, in the path, with a documented deprecation window. Breaking a partner's integration silently is the fastest way to lose their trust, and it is entirely avoidable.
