APIs have come a long way. From the humble beginnings as a request- response call over HTTP, APIs are now ruling the world.
A big reason for this trend is the emergence of SaaS applications. These applications provide real-time, on-demand services that rely on a real-time exchange of data, which requires a shift in API design. That’s where the need for an event-driven API arises. Gartner predicts that 50% of the APIs in 2020 will be event-driven APIs.
In this article, we take a deep dive into the nuances of event-driven APIs. We cover the design differences between REST APIs and event-driven APIs. Further, we discuss the infrastructural considerations, protocols, and some real-world applications of event-driven APIs that are contributing to the growth of the Internet.
