Motivation behind writing an API design book
The author explains that the motivation behind writing an API design book came from their experience working on a large-scale project that involved connecting various organizations and automating business processes through APIs. They wanted to teach API design to those who were new to the concept and provide a resource to refer to in discussions. The book aims to address the challenges and decision-making aspects of API design through patterns, which make explicit the trade-offs and influences on design choices.
