We could also allow other companies to develop new products for us or even offer white labeling. It gives us the flexibility we want for the future and enables us with the possibilities to develop a second application beside our interface, for example, a mobile application. This way we are more flexible in which frameworks our front-end is using without worrying about the back-end application. To keep it flexible without having to rewrite the entire system when we decide to change something, we implemented an API.

We also wanted to be able to rapidly change things, like our payment methods for example. The freedom to develop without having to depend on each other. The reason why I’m talking about APIs is that we are still tweaking our new registration flows for our second region and during the development of our new interface, we wanted freedom for our front-end and back-end developers. For example, creating an instance or assigning a floating IP is not executed by the dashboard itself, it only tells other projects to do so using the APIs. We offer a user-friendly dashboard to easily manage your infrastructure, which in turn uses the APIs to communicate and execute the requests that are made by the user in the dashboard to other parts of the Fuga Cloud. Each project has a specific job in the cloud ecosystem. It contains many different projects and applications which all communicate with each other using APIs.
