This session will answer the following questions:
* What technologies do we need to support older clients given the API first and data first architecture?
* How does the action API serve the requirements and use cases? The REST API? What are the strengths and disadvantages of these? What is missing from both? Are either of these the future or is another model more suitable like GraphQL? Specifically handle error handling
* Given the above, what is the impact on caching infrastructure and storage infrastructure?
