Sumario: | As the use of APIs continues to grow, one particular style of APIs--those that are asynchronous--is showing a noticeable increase. In this incisive report, API design experts Mike Amundsen and Ronnie Mitra describe the tools you need to successfully introduce the powerful asynchronous API pattern into your organization. Based on their field experience, Amundsen and Mitra estimate that at least 60% of all API developers will need to incorporate asynchronous interactions into their APIs within the next five years. More applications today offer "instant feedback," push notifications, and streaming data. The key component is support for asynchronous APIs that push notifications and data directly to the client as soon as it's available. This report will help you get started on the basics. You'll learn: What asynchronous APIs are and why they're important The software and frameworks that support asynchronous services How to use the AsyncAPI definition format to design asynchronous services Common patterns in asynchronous solutions The trade-offs of introducing asynchronous APIs into your infrastructure.
