Idempotency in APIs Explained | Why It Matters + Code Example

Описание: 📌 Idempotency in APIs

What exactly is idempotency in APIs—and why is it so important for backend developers and system architects?

In this video, we break down the concept of idempotency using simple language, real-world examples, a flow diagram, and a code walkthrough.

You’ll learn:
What idempotency means in the context of APIs
Why it matters for safe, reliable operations like payments or resource creation
How to implement idempotent behavior using idempotency keys
Which HTTP methods are naturally idempotent—and which ones need your help
How to prevent duplicate processing in distributed systems

If you've ever had to deal with duplicate requests, timeouts, or client retries, this video will show you exactly how to build APIs that can handle those scenarios gracefully.
