Benchmarking -- REST vs. gRPC

The first API Design model we are going to look at is Representational State Transfer (REST). REST follows the principles that HTTP and World-Wide Web are based on. It is practically just a set of rules built on top of what HTTP as a protocol allowed. For example, REST suggests that HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH…) are used accordingly to interact with resources, and this brings the advantage of having a predictable design when you know the resources you are dealing with. For an API to be intuitive and to be predictable has great importance.
