Solace Office Hours - Oct 2024 - All about Solace APIs!

Do you know how many APIs Solace brokers have, or how many they support? Ever wonder which protocol is the right one to get started with? Want a quick a catch-up on all the latest features that have been rolled-out over the last several years? This month, Solace Developer Advocate Aaron Lee is very pleased to be joined by longtime colleague Ragnar Paulson, Senior Manager of the Applications team at Solace HQ to go through all of that. Ragnar has worked on architecture or code in every single (messaging) API Solace has, and we're lucky to have him share his deep knowledge.

Have a complicated or tricky API question? As usual during the Office Hours, they'll be taking questions live-on-air, so be sure to bookmark your calendar and tune-in to the livestream on October 29th, or post your questions in advance at https://solace.community/discussion/3...
