 ### Concept
 
 This application attempts to modelize a cat café, with cafés (called "bars" here), cats, and customers.

 ### WebSocket

+### API type choices
+
+#### REST API 
+
+REST APIs are scalable, standardized, loosely coupled with clients, stateless, and flexible.
+
+Indeed, they can can easily handle multiple requests simultaneously, making them scalable for applications with increasing demands.
+They use standard HTTP methods and return data in a format (JSON, XML, YAML, etc.) that can be easily consumed by a wide range of clients, including mobiles.
+
+Besides, they can easily be cached and optimized for performance.
+
+#### WebSocket
+
+WebSockets provide real-time bi-directionnal communication, which is very useful for gaming, chat applications, or setting up notifications.
+Said communication is not only bi-directionnal, but also full-duplex: clients and servers can send and receive data
+simultaneously.
+
+Since the connection is opened once and closed once, we avoid any performance loss linked to opening
+and closing a connection for each request-response cycle. Similarly, a server that uses a websocket 
+can reduce its load, because it is now pushing updates directly instead of being polled regularly by many clients.

 ### API Gateway
 
 An [Ocelot](https://ocelot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) API Gateway manages the whole system.
