Idempotency
機械支援の翻訳下書き (Japanese) for "Idempotency": The property of an operation where performing it multiple times produces the same result as performing it once. Idempotent API endpoints are critical for safe retries — if a network error occurs, the client can re-send the request without fear of duplicating side effects like charges or database records.
“例文の下書き: Pass an idempotency key with payment requests so retries don't charge the customer twice.”
CI/CD
機械支援の翻訳下書き (Japanese) for "CI/CD": Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery — a set of software engineering practices and tools that automate the process of testing, building, and deploying code changes. CI automatically validates every commit; CD deploys validated code to production frequently and reliably without manual intervention.
“例文の下書き: The team ships 20 times a day safely because their CI/CD pipeline catches regressions automatically.”
DevOps
機械支援の翻訳下書き (Japanese) for "DevOps": A set of practices, tools, and cultural philosophies that unite software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) teams. DevOps breaks down silos, automates repetitive tasks, and instills shared responsibility for the full software lifecycle from code to production monitoring.
“例文の下書き: After adopting DevOps, their release cycle went from monthly to daily.”
API-First
機械支援の翻訳下書き (Japanese) for "API-First": A design philosophy where the API contract is defined and agreed upon before any implementation begins. API-first teams treat the API as the product — writing the specification first (e.g., in OpenAPI), getting feedback from consumers, then building both client and server simultaneously against the agreed contract.
“例文の下書き: Their API-first approach meant the mobile app team could start building against the spec before the backend was done.”
