Very Interesting and useful. To summarize, can we safely say:
GraphQL should be used when
1. We need to provide the client with minimal data,
2. Has need to know basis data requirement
3. Multi tenant clients
4. More front end centric apps like for e.g. mobile apps
Rest should be used when
1. It can co exist with GraphQL but mainly to be used for stronger backend services,
2. No restriction in terms data flow and loading/unloading,
3. Multi http protocol support is required,
4. Huge no of backend services present in system design which needs to communication with each other,
Please suggest,
As usual Thanks for your efforts,

Very good video. To the point. Great work.

[rajganguly]

Great video. very easy to understand. The use cases really make the difference. Thanks for the effort

[jayaramuduc]

Thanks for Video, its useful to understand when to use Rest or Graphql

[geekthegeek]

Man! you simplifies everything. Thank you for the video

[parvkapadia]

Interesting information about REST and GraphQl. Thanks

[RajaPandianCRP]

Thanks for a wonderful video yet again. This helped me look at your earlier video on Spring Boot and GraphQL and gain some knowledge on it.

[mediacmid]

Thank you for your effort.
Could you please explain API vs Webhook?

GraphQL is handy way of reducing data over internet when clients interested in few fields. In past developer used json in built feature like serialize except these list of fields. For parsing query input RSQL, JAX-RS search.

Once again something useful and different 😊

[tarankaranth]

excellent video, very clear. few questions 1. is there a client on top of http client 2. isnt it better to just use gql as it can do what a rest could provide as well the benefits of gql, using both can be a overhead, 3. is there a different frame work for getting the backend to use gql . 4. how would the specification look like in case of gql

I have a usecase where I need to get data from database (around 12 queries to be executed with complex joins and multiple tables) and this data need to be served into a dashboard. Each query result need to be displayed into the dashboard. What can be the best approach here. A single Graph QL API or multiple Rest endpoints. I need to save database calls by caching as well.

Hey bro, any example for Spring boot batch processing with resttemplate.

[yogeshpatil-vxpi]

Great explanation as always ..😊 If u can make Video on Kafka Confluent and IBM MQ .. would be a great help ...Thanks for ur sharings 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[asgharhussain]

Thanks for the comparison, great video!!
Are you going to implement those use cases demo in the upcoming videos?

[kanishmalviya]

[GET] Rest API with payload would looks similar to GraphQL ?

[MrSuryaKranthi]

Have doubt! Cant we acheive graphql capability thru a req body with post verb in rest style ?

[DheerajKhatriatgoogle]

Small correction: to create the country(resource), convention is to use POST (not PUT) and to update the existing country(resource) we can use PUT. I guess by mistake these got swapped in your explanation.

Thanks for the video..
What tools are you using for these drawings?
