Best Practices for Creating and Deploying REST APIs in IFS Cloud/Applications

Hello All,

I'm interested in leveraging REST APIs to integrate IFS (Cloud or Applications) with external systems. I'm looking for guidance on the best practices for creating and deploying these APIs within IFS.

Here are some specific areas where I'd appreciate insights:

1. Development Tools and Frameworks: What tools or frameworks are recommended for building REST APIs in IFS? Are there any IFS-specific tools or preferred approaches?
2. Authentication and Authorization: What are the best practices for securing REST APIs in IFS? How can I implement robust authentication and authorization mechanisms
3. Deployment Considerations: Are there any specific considerations for deploying REST APIs within an on-premise IFS installation?
4. Are there any existing resources or documentation that would be helpful for getting started with IFS REST API development 

I appreciate any insights and advice the community can offer!
