- Reactive Hypermedia: A new approach to APIs
- Description: The next generation of API powered applications will need more connectivity than ever before. These applications will range from video games to firmware inside of a smart oven. Todays API design fundamentals may work for this new breed of applications, but will they last? How can we improve the way APIs power the applications and distributed systems of tomorrow?
This talk will delve into the world of Reactive Hypermedia. We'll have a discussion around using state machine models in APIs, aspects of hypermedia, and using reactive streams to create a longer lasting API.
Learn tips and tricks for implementing these patterns within your own API! We'll also cover the real world use case of Zetta, an open source platform for the Internet of Things.
