➥ REST (Representational State Transfer)
● An architectural style for designing networked applications.
● It emphasizes stateless communication, the use of standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and resources identified by URLs.
➥ GraphQL
● A query language for APIs that allows clients to request exactly the data they need, nothing more and nothing less.
● This efficiency is a major advantage over REST, where endpoints often return fixed data structures.
➥ SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
● A protocol for exchanging structured information in the form of XML messages over a network.
➥ gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call)
● A high-performance, open-source framework for remote procedure calls (RPCs).
● It uses Protocol Buffers (a compact binary format) for data serialization.
➥ Webhooks
● A mechanism for real-time communication between applications.
● A webhook is essentially an HTTP callback triggered by a specific event in one system, which sends a notification to another system.
➥ WebSockets
● A protocol providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection.
● WebSockets enable real-time data exchange between a client and a server.
➥ MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport)
● A lightweight publish-subscribe messaging protocol designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable networks.
● It is commonly used in IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
➥ AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol)
● An open standard protocol for message-oriented middleware.
● AMQP provides features like reliable message delivery, routing, and queuing, making it suitable for enterprise integration scenarios.
➥ EDA (Event-Driven Architecture)
● A software architecture pattern where applications react to events (e.g., user actions, sensor readings).
● EDA promotes loose coupling and scalability.
➥ EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
● A set of standards for exchanging business documents (e.g., purchase orders, invoices) electronically between organizations.
● EDI is widely used in supply chain management and logistics.
➥ SSE (Server-Sent Events)
● A server-push technology that allows a server to send updates to a client over an HTTP connection in a unidirectional manner.
