  • Our company is trying to choose between graphql and grpc. One of our senior engineer is saying to use grpc as it is framework agnostic and easy to implement micro services architecture in different language. Graphql is more widely used in js community as compared to others. We are gonna use the backend service for mobile and web. From frontend perspective I see more love to graphql than grpc. Some of the grpc sample on grpc.io are difficult to get you head around for android, iOS swift has completely different repo maintained on GitHub and same for web as well.
