<div>The pub/sub API is a REST API based on Atom. The recommendations, as I understand them, are that we use REST for communication between services. Within a service boundary, however, you can use whatever remote protocol you'd like SOAP, AMQP, SMTP, whatever.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For our APIs, public and private, REST significantly lowers barriers to entry for our clients. At Rackspace, we've tried the approach of supporting different protocols for public and private APIs, and that lead to a lot of headaches and redundant work.
The issue is that you often have to replicate calls in multiple protocols, and calls often move from the private API to the public API. Really the operators of the service should determine which calls are private and which are public -- using a single
protocol allows us to easily switch between the two.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now, if you feel there's a situation where REST simply won't work then let's talk about it specifically. I'm sure exemptions can be made for exceptional cases.</div>

REST allows our services to be autonomous and loosely coupled, it also allows our customers to integrate with us easily. I think it's appropriate for our service model to use REST by default. We should consider situations where that's not the right model
