Protocols

PreviousEvents to Replicate DataNextCoupling

Last updated 1 year ago

Protocols define how clients and servers communicate in an asynchronous architecture.

The accepted protocols for asynchronous APIs are:

  • Kafka

  • HTTPS

  • WebSockets

  • MQTT

Note Guidelines for non-kafka protocols are not available at this point, but they might be added in the future.
