Mid REST API

What strategies can be used to ensure the scalability of a REST API?

  • Horizontal scaling → Add more servers/containers.
  • Load balancing across multiple instances.
  • Database optimization (indexes, partitioning, read replicas).
  • Caching at server, client, and CDN levels.
  • Use asynchronous processing for long-running tasks.
  • Apply rate limiting and throttling to prevent abuse.
  • Adopt microservices architecture for modular scaling.
