In what situations should you opt for gRPC over REST?

Question

RPC

Common stateless application: CRM (web + mobile).

Is there any reason to get confused on the new gRPC technology instead of the proven REST?

If yes, which ones?

Interested in the answer of people who have gone through this on their own experience.

What are the pitfalls?

What problems will we get in return for those already familiar? ))

Thank you in advance for a clear answer!

Answer 1

There are a million pitfalls. gRPC is needed when you need a highly loaded application in terms of the number of network requests, but you do not want to switch to TCP and UDP yet. There, the development paradigm is completely changing.
