In this episode, we explore the complex interplay between APIs and Services, including their distinct versions and life cycles. We clarify the differences between managed or business APIs and service endpoints. The discussion also touches on domain, experience, and utility APIs, direction-based communication, gateway necessities, and the use of eBPF+MTLS as a minimal observer without a sidecar. Join us for a concise yet insightful look at these essential architectural components.
