Why Message Passing is Better Than RESTful APIs

RESTful APIs are widely used for communication between services, but they rely on constant polling or webhooks, which leads to inefficiency, latency, and security concerns. Message-passing systems, like RabbitMQ and Kafka, provide a more scalable and efficient communication model that eliminates the need for continuous requests.

Linkerd logo

Elixir is a dynamic, functional programming language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications. It runs on the Erlang Virtual Machine (BEAM), known for its ability to handle large numbers of concurrent processes efficiently, making Elixir ideal for applications requiring high availability and low-latency, such as real-time systems, distributed applications, and web services. Elixir’s syntax is modern and developer-friendly, offering features like metaprogramming, fault tolerance, and hot code swapping, which make it a popular choice for developers building reliable and concurrent software systems.
