Unit 7: Enabling the Draft Handling
Topics

Week 3
RESTful architecture and draft handling
CLOUD ENVIRONMENT EXPECTS HIGH AVAILABILITY, CONTINUOUS DELIVERY,

AND LOW TCO
RESTful avoids problematic server stickiness by introducing a stateless communication
Draft fills the gap between stateless communication and stateful application
ENABLERS FOR MODERN USER EXPERIENCE REQUIRES MULTI-DEVICE SUPPORT

CLOUD AND AND DATA LOSS PREVENTION WITHOUT CONNECTION TIMEOUTS
MODERN UX Draft persists the state device-independently in a non-process-relevant way
RESTful makes the draft available as an addressable resource
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Draft is the persisted transactional buffer

Draft – Stateful applications with stateless communication protocol

a long period, so locks can‘t be held all the time
Locks are not bound to a session and have their own timeout
