As a lover of all things programming, I send a lot of time exploring why we follow certain conventions.

More recently, I've been playing around with hosting an API on Heroku. Most of the tutorials used Axios, with no thought to the decision. Several hours later, it's still not clear if

2) there are certain scenarios where Axios is the best tool
3) it's something else altogether

Would love to hear your thoughts on the two
