The author and his introduction definitely has a compelling story to tell. It is making re-think our recent strategy shift in which we evaluated GRPC and GraphQL. We chose GRPC but I'm starting to see that it's not really any better than REST + Swagger. I think I might need to actually just go ahead and buy this book and re-think if the GRPC route is worth it. Our investment in Grpc at this point has been slow - mostly because I figured the Grpc-Web project would be moving a lot faster by now. It's not and I don't see the team doubling down, whereas it looks like Apollo and GraphQL seems... ready now.

Edit: Does anyone know if he goes over typescript?
