Comparing REST API, GraphQL, and gRPC, the post explores their deployment on a Kubernetes cluster, measuring latency, CPU, memory, and network usage. It highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each, showing gRPC excelled under high load with the lowest resource usage, while REST API performed reliably with lower latency under moderate load. GraphQL struggled at higher requests per second due to its query engine overhead.
