Why Should You STOP Building Web And Mobile Apps Immediately
Creating something new is hard.
It takes time, effort, and sometimes even money to create and execute a new idea. And creating something original and completely new is nearly impossible because anything you could possibly even think of has most likely already been made.
Web and mobile apps are excellent examples. From every cheap website made by an amateur HTML coder to an app developed perfectly by a software development company, millions of apps and web applications flood the market every year through the App Store, Google Play Store, and browsers such as google chrome.
Why should you try and build an entirely new application with brand-new code, design, and databases when more than likely, there is already an application doing that exact same thing?
There is a better way. And that way is “integration”.
It is possible to integrate multiple applications to meet a custom need, using APIs, which stands for Application Programming Interface. It essentially allows you to use features from another application, instead of building everything on your own. For example, if you run a review website for dog walkers, you could use the Google Maps API to integrate location services into your application so that users may search for any dog walkers in their area who are available.
With thousands of APIs available right at your fingertips, you’ll never need to code anything from scratch again. You can simply integrate whatever features you need from these apps into your own.
Webhooks are another example of integration. They are essentially the same thing as APIs but instead of being driven by requests, they are being driven by events. They can be used to allow your program to send data to another as soon as a specific event takes place. They can be used along with APIs to give updates to other parts of your applications.
So now, instead of having an entire database for your application to receive and send messages and updates, you can now use webhooks.
Integration is becoming more popular as making entirely new solutions are becoming obsolete and resource-consuming. As more and more problems need solving, we need to utilize our resources accordingly. Instead of creating, we need to innovate. And right now, integration is the most innovative thing you can do.
