Summary

In this chapter, we have learned HTTP optimization methods to improve application performance. By reducing the interaction between clients and servers and the size of the data over HTTP, we will achieve maximum performance in our REST API services. We will explore other optimization, caching, and scaling techniques in Chapter 11, Scaling, as we will be talking about more advanced topics relating to web service performance.
