Endpoints in APIs: How Elon Musk and Bill Gates Revolutionized Technological Infrastructure

What do Elon Musk and Bill Gates have in common besides their disruptive vision? Both have a deep understanding of the technological infrastructure that underpins their projects. Behind the user experience and attractive designs of web applications and services lie API Endpoints. These connection points are crucial for ensuring efficient operations and high availability.

What is an Endpoint?

Endpoints are the essential pillars that facilitate communication between systems and services. In web application development, they appear as specific URLs that allow you to retrieve data, send information, and execute actions with precision.

Essential Components of an Endpoint:
