Understanding gRPC, OpenAPI, and REST in API Design
Introduction
- Two primary models for API design: RPC [Procedure] and REST [Entity]
- Most modern APIs map to the HTTP protocol
- RPC API designs often adopt ideas from HTTP
- This presentation explains the choices and provides guidance
gRPC Overview
- gRPC: Technology for implementing RPC APIs using HTTP 2.0
- RPC model: Addressable entities are procedures, data hidden behind procedures
- HTTP model: Addressable entities are data entities (resources)
Liberalism, Socialism, and Modern Democratic Thought
Liberalism
Liberalism was born in England in the 18th century as an opposition to tyrannical powers. It argued that the fundamental right is freedom. The most important theorists of this doctrine were Locke and Montesquieu. Locke established that the individual has three basic inalienable rights: the right to life, the right to liberty, and property rights. From this approach, the following consequences are derived:
- The exclusive function of the state is to protect citizens’ rights. The state is not
19th Century Spain: Political Instability and Social Change
The Two Progressive Years (1854 – 1856)
The increasingly dictatorial power of Narvaez led to growing discontent, culminating in a moment of maturity. Initiated by General O’Donnell in Vicálvaro, the military coup radicalized after the rebels published the Manifesto of Manzanares. This gained broad popular support and urged other generals to join the rebellion. The coup succeeded, leading to a government headed by the progressive Espartero. General O’Donnell, another key figure, created the Liberal

Metaphysical Knowledge
Topics in Metaphysics
- The truth, knowledge, soul, God, good, evil, freedom, reality, death, the meaning of life, etc.
- Metaphysics is “the science that seeks” and studies knowledge which is not science.
Large Regions of Metaphysical Knowledge
- Ontology: theory of reality in general
- Gnoseology or theory of knowledge: theory of the knowing subject
- Ethics: Theory of human action
Ontology
- The material object is the set of all beings.
- The formal purpose is to study what they all have in common:

Determinism and Physical Determinism
Determinism within “physical determinism”: This thesis consists of 2 types of determinism:
- Material: The universe is composed of physical atoms, endowed with permanent mass, only differing in position and relationship (Newton).
- Mechanical: The physical state of the universe at a particular time is determined by the state of the universe at any other time. Therefore, one could predict that state. For example, astronomy provides examples: knowing the position of the
