GraphQL

GraphQL vs gRPC: which is better for microservices?

The question is about GraphQL .

Answer:

gRPC is optimised for internal service communication; it delivers fast, type-safe RPC messaging using Protocol Buffers, making it ideal for high-performance, low-latency, strongly typed microservice meshes. GraphQL is better for aggregating or querying service results desired by frontend clients, but it is not always ideal between backend services. Choose gRPC for service-to-service backend communication - use GraphQL for frontend or external client interactions.
