Comparative Analysis of RESTful, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs: Perfomance Insight from Load and Stress Testing by Steven Chandra, Ahmad Farisi

“…Result show that RESTful achieves the highest total request but exhibit greater resource consumption and a higher failure rate. GraphQL demonstrated better CPU and memory efficiency with strong stability, though it has higher latency and slower response times. gRPC strikes a balance with a moderate latency and resource usage, albeit with slightly higher memory consumption under stress. …”
