What’s the best API approach for data aggregation: REST or GraphQL?
#1
I’m trying to decide between using a RESTful design or GraphQL for a new internal reporting API, and I’m stuck on how to handle the aggregation of data from several microservices. The REST approach feels cleaner for known report structures, but I keep wondering if the flexibility to let the frontend specify exactly the nested fields it needs would ultimately reduce our over-fetching problems.
