Endpoint
An endpoint is a network address where a client connects to a service — often designed to be stable even as backends change.
Depending on context, an endpoint may be:
- A hostname + port (e.g.,
db.example.com:1433) - A base URL (e.g., https://api.example.com/)
- A specific API path (e.g., https://api.example.com/v1/orders)
