HTTP API In Action
Channel: The Linux Foundation
Date: 2016-12-08

Mesos has continued to add support for a new, easy to use framework API: the HTTP API.
In this talk we first provide an overview of the different parts of the HTTP API including scheduler, executor, and operator API. 
Next we provide insight in how the new API can be used by framework writers with best practices and common pitfalls experienced while implementing HTTP API support for ArangoDB which is among the first production frameworks to utilize this new feature.
From this experience we present guidelines on how to change a framework over from the old API to the new HTTP API and compare both implementations side to side to show the differences (or different usage patterns) of both APIs. This talk is equally useful for framework authors who directly want to start from scratch with the new HTTP API.
