- [Instructor] As the design of information systems has evolved, their architectures have included more interconnectivity between systems. We see it all the time. One website will access your data from another platform. Throughout this evolution, various integration strategies have emerged that allow systems to exchange data and share capabilities. These approaches include techniques such as file transfers, ETL, shared databases, and messaging. Sharing data with these techniques requires a lot of work, and each type of integration has some drawbacks, whether that's inconsistent data, tight coupling, poor security, or duplicate copies of data. These drawbacks and the need for a more lightweight technique drove engineers towards APIs when designing new systems. Let's clarify a few key points concerning APIs.
