The API Podcast with Fexingo: REST, GraphQL, and Modern Web APIs

Every time you fetch a customer record, query a map route, or post a comment, you're using an API. But not all APIs are built alike. REST still rules the enterprise, GraphQL is eating the frontend, and gRPC claims the microservices layer — while JSON:API and Falcor lurk in the margins. Lucas and Luna dissect the trade-offs: payload size vs. caching, versioning strategies, and why Netflix abandoned REST for GraphQL on the client. They walk through real endpoint designs from Stripe, GitHub, and Twilio, and debate whether OpenAPI specs are documentation or trapdoors. By the end of each episode, you'll know which API style fits your next project — and which one will quietly break at 10x traffic.
