The author and his introduction definitely has a compelling story to tell. It is making re-think our recent strategy shift in which we evaluated GRPC and GraphQL. We chose GRPC but I'm starting to see that it's not really any better than REST + Swagger. I think I might need to actually just go ahead and buy this book and re-think if the GRPC route is worth it. Our investment in Grpc at this point has been slow - mostly because I figured the Grpc-Web project would be moving a lot faster by now. It's not and I don't see the team doubling down, whereas it looks like Apollo and GraphQL seems... ready now.
Edit: Does anyone know if he goes over typescript?
- sbr464 8y agoNo TypeScript on basic search currently, but book is not finished, can’t speak for the author.
- lorendsr 8y agoWould definitely recommend GraphQL over GRPC! We'll go over how to generate types or add them manually, but the rest of the book is in ecmascript.
- andrewingram 8y agoWhen I interviewed at Improbable (authors of gRPC Web) last year, we spoke a little about gRPC and GraphQL. The interviewer didn't really explain their choice beyond the fact that half the company came from Google and were already fans of gRPC.
