REST vs. gRPC vs. GraphQL

JsonAPI

There are a variety of tricks to solve the over/under-fetching problems of REST. My personal preference is JSON:API, which defines standard query parameters for clients to ask the server return just a subset of fields or to traverse references and return complete copies of others resources.<p><a href="https://jsonapi.org/" rel="nofollow">https://jsonapi.org/</a>.

Apache Thrift

Apache Thrift is another great way of server-server & client-server communication. Pretty similar to protobuf but feels a bit more mature to me.<p><a href="https://thrift.apache.org/" rel="nofollow">https://thrift.apache.org/</a>.
