  • 1.  Open API database architecture

    Is there a specific optimized database architecture recommended by TM Forum to implement open APIs? Also I would like to know what is the DBMS that suits best to implement them?

    Thank you.!!

    Hi

    The Open API is (well) an API definition. It is non-opinionated on how you choose to implement the API. Having said that, since the Open API is REST resource/document oriented, you might find that a document database (Couchbase, MongoDB, AWS DynamoDB and other public cloud equivalents, many others) might be a better fit for persisting entities, as against a relational (SQL) database.

    There are surely many other criteria for choosing a database, depending on your business and non-functional needs, I would put TMF Open API convenience as just one of those criteria.
    Hope it helps
