Designing APIs for humans: Object IDs 🧑🏻💻
Ever wondered why Stripe uses foloowing format to generate unique IDs? Let’s dive in and break down how and why Stripe IDs are structured the way they are:
pi_3LKQhvGUcADgqoEM3bh6pslE
└┘└────────────┘
└─ Prefix └─ Randomly generated characters
You might have noticed that all Stripe Objects have a prefix at the beginning of the ID. The reason for this is quite simple: adding a prefix makes the ID human readable. ✔️
Without knowing anything else about the ID we can immediately confirm that we’re talking about a PaymentIntent object here, thanks to the pi_ prefix. This helps Stripe employees internally just as much as it helps developers integrating with Stripe.
$pi = $stripe->paymentIntents->retrieve(
$id,
[],
['stripe_account' => 'cus_1KrJdMGUcADgqoEM']
);

Bloom Filters 🆒
Imagine ensuring web safety by identifying malicious links without storing massive data. Traditional methods involve keeping a huge list of bad links, consuming substantial storage and bandwidth. Enter Bloom Filters - a genius method allowing us to significantly reduce storage needs (up to 82% smaller) with a minimal error rate. 👾
For instance, instead of a 20MB list for 1,000,000 links, a Bloom Filter achieves this with just 3.59MB, accepting a tiny error chance (0.0001%). Even more impressive, with a 0.1% error tolerance, the size shrinks to 1.8MB. This technique was even utilized by Google Chrome until 2012. ✔️
Bloom Filters offer a balance between efficiency and accuracy. For critical checks, it pairs with a database API for zero false positives. A practical, space-saving solution for modern web browsers! ⚡️

Introducing WireMock.NET: Master HTTP API Testing 🚀
WireMock.NET simulates HTTP API behaviors, enabling seamless integration and testing for developers.
👌 Ideal Use Cases:
• HTTP Dependencies Not Ready: Leap over the hurdle of incomplete HTTP APIs in microservice architectures by mimicking their behavior with WireMock.Net.
• Unit Testing HTTP-Dependent Classes: Test classes that rely on HTTP APIs as a cohesive unit, ensuring your code communicates effectively with the actual APIs.
• Integration/End-to-End Tests: Overcome the challenges of testing with external HTTP APIs—like variable data, slow responses, and network restrictions—by employing WireMock.Net for consistent and swift testing.
public class ExternalService(HttpClient httpClient)
{
public async Task<string> GetAsync()
{
var response = await httpClient.GetAsync("/ping");
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
}
public class ExternalServiceTests
{
[Fact]
public async Task GetAsync_WhenCalled_ReturnsString()
{
// Arrange
var fakeServer = WireMockServer.Start();
fakeServer
.Given(Request.Create().WithPath("/ping").UsingGet())
.RespondWith(Response.Create()
.WithStatusCode(200)
.WithBody("pong")
);
var fakeClient = fakeServer.CreateClient();
var externalService = new ExternalService(fakeClient);
// Act
var response = await externalService.GetAsync();
// Assert
response.Should().Be("pong");
