Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - HTTP Protocol

The video tutorial explains how applications communicate over the Internet using the HTTP protocol. It highlights HTTP as a crucial communication standard that facilitates interaction between diverse client and server technologies. The tutorial delves into the request-response model, emphasizing that communication is initiated by the client. Various examples, such as web browsers, video games, and mobile apps, illustrate the versatility of HTTP in enabling universal communication. The video also touches on the limitations of HTTP, where the server cannot initiate requests, and hints at exploring alternative methods in future discussions.
