# Talend Cloud API Services Platform in use

Discover some of the features available in Talend Cloud API Services Platform with a hands-on example.

The following sections describe how to create a simple API, from design to deployment. Using the example of a movie rental company creating an API to browse a database and add movies to it, you will:

* Design and document a movie catalog API in Talend Cloud API Designer. You can share the definition and documentation with various stakeholders to make sure your API meets their needs.
* Use a mock to test your definition in Talend Cloud API Tester in order to validate its design before implementing it.
* Create a REST service using your definition to read from and write to a database in Talend Studio.
* Create a test scenario to test your API in Talend Cloud API Tester and validate its implementation with a scenario that reproduces real-life usage.
* Publish your API to Talend Cloud and deploy it to a Talend Remote Engine using Talend Management Console.
