HTTP 201 Created vs 428 Precondition Required
HTTP 201 (Created) is a 2xx Success response, while 428 (Precondition Required) is a 4xx Client Error response. 201 indicates that the request succeeded and a new resource was created. Typically returned after POST or PUT requests that create a new entity. In contrast, 428 means that the server requires the request to be conditional (e.g., include If-Match header) to prevent lost updates.
