A strategic engineering breakdown contrasting surface-level RPA robots against traditional code scripts (Python, PowerShell), backend APIs, and iPaaS middleware (MuleSoft, Zapier). Key Sub-topics Breakdown: • Subtopic 1: RPA vs Traditional Coding (Python/Selenium): Speed of implementation, visual debugger, and enterprise governance • Subtopic 2: RPA vs Direct REST APIs: When to automate on the presentation layer vs backend web services • Subtopic 3: Hybrid Automation Strategy: Combining API Webhooks, SQL triggers, and UI Robot workers
