| Abstract |
In the near future, everything will be connected: cities, enterprises, human beings, and more. This reality is just over the horizon, and it brings one of the largest challenges in building distributed systems. Today, developers often look to RESTful Web APIs to solve these problems. Are current trends in API design really prepared to handle the demands of the future? What’s missing from the equation? In this session, you’ll learn new patterns for modeling Web APIs using state machines, hypermedia, and reactive streams to meet tomorrow’s challenges and make a solid attempt at standing the test of time. Learn what you can do to make your API servers more scalable and resilient while allowing API clients to be event-driven and responsive. A real-world example will be given of how these concepts were used to build Zetta, an open source platform for the Internet of Things. |
