What is an API client? 🛠️🧵 Image
An API client is a development tool that makes it easier for producers and consumers to explore, test, and debug APIs.
Traditional approaches to calling an API require a significant amount of specialized knowledge; for instance, the API user must know a programming language, understand the API's framework and protocol, and be able to interpret the response.
This time-consuming process not only slows down API development and integration efforts, but also prevents people with less technical backgrounds from working with APIs.
API clients abstract away some of this complexity, lowering the barrier to entry for API-related work and enabling developers to stay focused on big-picture goals.

What is an API Gateway? 🌁🧵 Image
An API gateway is a server that acts as an entry point for clients to access and interact with multiple microservices and backend systems.
API gateways are an important component of microservice-based architectures, as they provide a centralized point of control for many common tasks that would otherwise be performed by each individual microservice.

What is GraphQL? 👾🧵 Image
GraphQL is an open source query language for APIs that was created by Facebook in 2012.

With GraphQL, clients interact with a single endpoint and specify the exact data they need, without having to chain multiple requests together.
This approach reduces the number of round trips between the client and the server, which can improve performance—especially on slow or unreliable network connections.

What is a cache? 🧵⚙️ Image
A cache is an infrastructure component that temporarily stores frequently accessed data so that it can be served more quickly and efficiently.
When an API client makes a request, the server can check the cache to see if the requested data is already available.

If it is, the server can return the cached response directly to the client, without having to execute the full request again.
