Aren’t their usecases completely different?

• pensatoio 2y ago
  Yes. The use cases are very different, as far as these things go. To say otherwise is borderline misinformation. You can build services internally with gRPC and serve a public graphQL API that aggregates them.

    That's just a distributed monolith and you shouldn't do that.
    • pensatoio 2y ago
      Haha. No...it's just a _distributed system_. One with firm, precisely-defined boundaries around each horizontally scaled sub-system.
• lakomen 2y ago
  Not at all.

  Intersects quite heavily if you're defining a schema for your API
• lmm 2y ago
  No, they're both possible choices for your basic client-server communication layer that you build everything else on. (I mean, technically gRPC rather than protobuf, but protobuf is the biggest part of gRPC).
