In the multiverse of API design, two powerful realms exist:
– The REST universe, where communication follows strict request-response rules.
– The WebSocket dimension, where data flows instantly through persistent connections.

This talk explores how to open a portal between them — creating your own API multiverse that combines structure with real-time responsiveness.

The following points will be covered:
– How WebSocket breaks free from traditional HTTP patterns
– Why it boosts performance: less polling, instant updates, and lower load
– Limitations : handling connection state, scaling challenges, infrastructure complexity

A practical case study from an aviation e-commerce platform, showing how REST ensures data consistency while WebSocket delivers live event streams. This talk will be ideal for developers, architects, and tech leads looking to evolve their systems without rebuilding them from scratch.

By combining REST and WebSocket, you won’t just have one API — you’ll create a multiverse of possibilities.
