REST API

REST vs gRPC: which is better for microservices?

The question is about REST API .

Answer:

gRPC is designed for high-performance, low-latency RPC between microservices, supports contract-based protobuf schemas, and includes built-in code generation. It is ideal for efficient service-to-service calls at scale. REST is language-agnostic and web-friendly but slower. For microservices, gRPC is generally the superior protocol.
