Asynchronous API Server

An Asynchronous API Server is an API Server that handles requests using non-blocking asynchronous processing.

• AKA: Async API Server, Non-Blocking API Server.
• Context:
  • It can typically process Asynchronous API Server Requests without blocking asynchronous API server worker threads.
  • It can typically manage Asynchronous API Server Connection Pools for asynchronous API server concurrent clients.
  • It can typically implement Asynchronous API Server Event Loops for asynchronous API server request handling.
  • It can typically support Asynchronous API Server Streaming Responses through asynchronous API server chunk delivery.
  • ...
  • It can often achieve Asynchronous API Server High Throughput via asynchronous API server concurrent processing.
  • It can often provide Asynchronous API Server Backpressure Control through asynchronous API server flow management.
  • It can often enable Asynchronous API Server Resource Efficiency by sharing asynchronous API server thread pools.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Asynchronous API Server to being a Complex Asynchronous API Server, depending on its asynchronous API server feature set.
  • It can range from being a Single-Protocol Asynchronous API Server to being a Multi-Protocol Asynchronous API Server, depending on its asynchronous API server protocol support.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Asynchronous API Server Frameworks like asynchronous API server event-driven frameworks.
  • It can utilize Asynchronous API Server Middleware for asynchronous API server request pipelines.
  • It can implement Asynchronous API Server Load Balancing across asynchronous API server instances.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Asynchronous API Server Implementations, such as:
    • Node.js API Server using asynchronous API server event-driven architecture.
    • Python AsyncIO Server leveraging asynchronous API server coroutines.
    • Reactive Spring Server implementing asynchronous API server reactive streams.
  • Asynchronous API Server Protocols, such as:
    • gRPC Async Server supporting asynchronous API server bidirectional streaming.
    • WebSocket API Server enabling asynchronous API server real-time communication.
    • GraphQL Subscription Server providing asynchronous API server push notifications.
  • Asynchronous API Server Architectures, such as:
    • Event-Driven API Server processing asynchronous API server event queues.
    • Actor-Based API Server using asynchronous API server message passing.
    • Reactive API Server following asynchronous API server reactive principles.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Synchronous API Server, which blocks threads during synchronous request processing.
  • Thread-Per-Request Server, which spawns dedicated threads rather than using asynchronous API server event loops.
  • Polling-Based Server, which uses periodic polling instead of asynchronous API server event notifications.
