Where are the application networking features heading, and how might this affect the way we design and approach distributed applications in the future? Let’s explore the shifting sands of application networking, focusing on the movement of networking concerns with the rise of the https://www.diagrid.io/blog/evolution-of-cloud-computing.

These asynchronous network interaction styles distribute state among participants in a predictable and reliable manner using a few well-known methods such as pub/sub, key/value access, orchestration, cron job, distributed lock, etc.

Distributed applications are composed of multiple components distributed across numerous processes that interact with each other over the network.

Unlike transparent APIs that sink into the compute layer and are primarily used by operations teams, asynchronous networking interactions arise in cloud offerings, created for application developers.
