Which API request-handling strategy do you find most efficient, and why do you prefer it?

[aguiarcode]

I'd go with the event-driven asynchronous model (single-threaded or very-low-thread event loop + non-blocking I/O), like you see in Node.js, Bun, Rust's Tokio, Go's net/http, or modern Python/Java with async/await.

The most efficient API request-handling strategy is stateless REST with asynchronous processing, Basically, every request stands on its own, so the system is easy to scale. Async handling means the server doesn’t get stuck waiting on slow tasks, which keeps things fast and smooth even with high traffic. It’s reliable, easy to cache, and works well when requests need to be retried.

Asynchronous request handling is the most efficient...

[manukumar7]

I prefer RESTful APIs with middleware because they are simple, scalable, and keep request handling clean and maintainable.

I will prefer a RESTfulaPI with async request handling because it’s simple, scalable, and easy to debug.

yes
