It begins by explaining Netflix&#8217;s initial &#8220;one-size-fits-all&#8221; REST API model and how requests grew exponentially as more devices were supported. This led Netflix to move away from resource-based APIs to experience-based APIs tailored for specific devices and use cases. Key aspects of the new design included reducing &#8220;chattiness&#8221;, handling variability across devices, and supporting innovation at different rates. The document also discusses Netflix&#8217;s approach to versioning APIs and making them more resilient through techniques like circuit breakers and fallbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/FzfEerkDRdpxZL?startSlide=1\" width=\"597\" height=\"486\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border:1px solid #CCC; border-width:1px; margin-bottom:5px;max-width: 100%;\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><div style=\"margin-bottom:5px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/netflix-api-keynote-at-disney-tech-conference\/22754750\" title=\"Netflix API: Keynote at Disney Tech Conference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix API: Keynote at Disney Tech Conference<\/a><\/strong> from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/danieljacobson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Jacobson<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In June 2013, Disney hosted what I believe was their first internal tech conference, to be hosted in Orlando at Disney World.
