We had a small fiasco with our Magento build. Our developers did some things with the code that caused the Magento 2 compiler to break the site. The solution proposed was to rebuild Magento’s installation and then re-apply the new theme. This sounded like a good time to upgrade. Here are my Magento 2 v2.1 First Impressions.
I’ve taken you through how the Magento 2 API works. This is where I send you off on your magical journey. There are lots of integration points that you can access with this API, and now you can write even more for yourself. The fundamentals are there, and you should get the gist of how things work.

The way we handle our inventory is to do a daily export of pricing and quantity from our inventory management system. This “export” has a legacy function of generating CSV files for uploading to various sales channels. Enter a plan to modernize, we kept the process and naming the same for our people, but created API calls that send out a batch of products. Magento by design takes one item at a time. Good or bad, this is just how it is. I found things a little slow, and wanted to be able to send over a batch of products, so I looked into extending the API.
