gRPC is lightweight, highly performant, difficult to debug, difficult to detect breaking schema changes, lots of magic going on to learn compared to REST or GraphQL. GraphQL is much heavier, easier to test and debug and has some performance optimisations like data loader and is better for multiple clients to consume. I’d say it’s easier to manage schema changes but it’s probably not empirical. I guess huge overheads by comparison to gRPC but I’m guessing data over the wire is a much larger piece of the pie. Personally think GraphQL is far superior for web clients and I think gRPC for services in general can be a pretty large overhead for most teams... at least initially you are going to get things done much faster with restful services.
