Idempotent vs Non Idempotent
Developers should learn and apply idempotency when designing APIs, database transactions, or distributed systems to handle network failures, retries, and duplicate requests without causing data corruption or inconsistent states meets developers should learn about non idempotent operations to design reliable systems, particularly in contexts like web apis, where repeated requests (e.
