Whats the case for protobuf these days? I loved it for a while. Don't dislike it particularly now (but I've rolled off). - Performance? Fastest JSON lib in most languages are as fast if not faster - Cross language schema generation? So many tools for this these days, they do one thing do them right (depending on your choice of 'right' for things like unions/enums/etc) - The wire protocol? Seems to get in the way vs http2/3. Need special considerations for your proxies (be it nginx or cloudflare). Forced certs, etc are annoying too. I feel like to most shops these days its mostly a schema manager? Protobuf is super bloated for that use case. |
