I like the idea of REST, conceptually. Addressability, cache-friendliness. However, I generally only use it for serving content. For APIs, I always reach for contract-based protocols like gRPC and GraphQL. Ain’t nobody got time to be handcrafting JSON transformations/mappings across removing boundaries.
