Too Long; Didn't Read
A distributed computing is a collection of software services that provides an illusion to users as one system. To end-users, everything might feel seamless, as though we are simply interacting with a single website. At the core, a distributed computing hides things from users by providing transparency. For example, when we stream a movie on Netflix, we may be fetching data from one system, sending data to another system, and awaiting a response from another system before it streams a movie. An API is a reliable way to access the resource using the same, repeatable operations, yielding the same result.
