I work close to monitoring/observability space and I have to say, putting query parameters into path portion of the URL is a really bad idea.
I know it's fashionable to have URLs like:
https://example.com/appService1/getOrder/17 https://example.com/appService1/getOrder/17
But it's hard for monitoring tool to tell, which part of URL is API endpoint (which you want to report on) and which is user data (which you don't want to report on). I wished people used query portion of the URL for user data, so it's syntactically distinct from the path.
