Let's look into the world of API types and explore their respective benefits and disadvantages. We will compare and contrast the most common API types, including REST, Async, and gRPC, and discuss where each excels. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how to choose the right API for their specific needs, taking into account factors such as performance and ease of integration. For the beginners, we'll cover a little bit of HTTP history and compare HTTP 1.1 and 2.0 as they relate to API development and progress.
