HTTP 204 No Content vs 428 Precondition Required
HTTP 204 (No Content) is a 2xx Success response, while 428 (Precondition Required) is a 4xx Client Error response. 204 indicates that the server successfully processed the request but is not returning any content. Common for DELETE operations and form submissions that don't need a response body. In contrast, 428 means that the server requires the request to be conditional (e.g., include If-Match header) to prevent lost updates.
