Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - RESTful API Design for Single Microservices

The video tutorial explains how to design RESTful APIs for single microservices, focusing on a product microservice for an ecommerce application. It outlines four key rules: designing around resources using nouns for URIs, ensuring unique identifiers for resources, using JSON for resource representation, and employing HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE for operations. The tutorial emphasizes best practices in API design, such as avoiding verbs in URIs and using parameterized paths for routing.
