Agreed! A SPA using an RPC API usually makes the most sense. I've wasted so much time over my career trying to jam functional concepts into REST resources for little gain.
I really like the idea of each app getting it's own specialized backend. Have you heard of the BFF pattern?

- WClayFerguson 6y agoI just read that entire article. Thanks for posting that. I like everything it's saying, and it points out some of the major drawbacks of REST. I've never used GraphQL yet but I know I do like it. Most of what I've done has been a mix of OSFA and BFF. RPC API design is more art than science, but definitely everything about REST is wrongheaded, inside out, upside down, and ass backwards. lol.
