gRPC vs REST: let the battle begin! by Alex Borysov & Mykyta Protsenko

Let's get ready to rumble! Are you developing microservices or just considering splitting your monolith? Thinking what is the right way for your services to communicate with each other? gRPC is a modern high performance RPC framework backed by Google, while REST is an established architectural pattern for designing distributed systems. We will discuss pros and cons of each approach, going deep and wide, leaving no stone unturned, outlining landmines and showing best practices. In the end the audience can decide what is the right choice for them and their projects.

You can say REST isn't "JSON over HTTP" until the end of time but in practical usage...that's exactly what it has become. I'm not saying that's good or bad but it is what it is.

I really like how they have this kind of easy going conversation on stage.

How about rest defaulting to http 1.1 and gRpc using http 2?

даже Оскара Уальда цитируют, вот это уровень, прям стендап шоу какое-то, высокий чувак с рестом вообще когда нить работал? в правилах написания рест архитектуры ясно сказано, что эндпоинты должны быть в множественном числе, он даже это простое правило нарушил в своих примерах

This could be settled with an epic Russian Slap fight!

This looks a lot like graphql, aka agregating data from different sources...
