gRPC vs REST performance

gRPC uses HTTP/2 to support highly performant and scalable API’s and makes use of binary data rather than just text which makes the communication more compact and more efficient. gRPC makes better use of HTTP/2 then REST .

GraphQL allows the Clients to request for any number of Data Fields at a go. The response will be as fast as the speed of the slowest requested field. This means that users should optimize queries continuously based on usage patterns. Thus, GraphQL will be slower than gRPC in most cases .
