These examples demonstrate Zelvian Tech engineering patterns. They are sanitized reference APIs and are not production endpoints.
Illustrative pattern for creating a validated business resource.
POST /api/v1/resources
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "Example Resource",
"externalReference": "example-123"
}{
"success": true,
"data": {
"id": "example-resource-id"
}
}Health answers whether the application process is responsive. Readiness can additionally represent whether required dependencies are available to serve normal traffic.
GET /health
200 OK
{ "ok": true }
GET /ready
200 OK
{ "ok": true, "dependencies": { "database": "ready" } }Typical design considerations include signature/verification handling where supported, idempotency, safe retries, event logging, validation and avoiding long synchronous work inside the webhook request.
Protect private resources, verify caller identity and separate authorization from authentication.
Validate required fields, types and allowed states before executing business logic.
Return stable status codes and safe error messages without leaking secrets or internal stack data.
Introduce explicit version boundaries when contract changes would otherwise break consumers.
Apply project-appropriate limits or controls when public or high-volume integrations require them.
Keep secrets outside source code and avoid exposing internal implementation details in client-facing errors.
