What is one benefit of using the pub/sub model in the Streaming API?

The benefit of using the pub/sub model in the Streaming API is primarily centered around reduced API request volume. In this architecture, clients subscribe to specific events or data changes rather than continuously polling the server for updates. This means that instead of each client sending multiple requests to check for data updates, they can rely on the server proactively sending notifications when relevant changes occur.

By consolidating how updates are transmitted and reducing the need for repetitive requests, the overall load on the API decreases. This not only enhances system efficiency but also allows for better resource allocation, as bandwidth and server capacity can be optimized when fewer requests are made. Consequently, using the pub/sub model effectively handles data distribution while minimizing unnecessary API overhead.
