# api-pick ## 1. Choose the style | If... | Pick | | --- | --- | | Many external or partner consumers; HTTP and CDN caching matter; simple per-endpoint limits | REST | | A few first-party UIs with varied screens; clients over- or under-fetch; frontend teams iterate fast | GraphQL | | Internal service-to-service, low latency, strong typing, streaming | gRPC | Record the choice and the reasons as a short decision record. ## 2. Contract first Write the OpenAPI 3.1 spec or GraphQL SDL, lint it, and get it reviewed before writing handlers. Never ship an endpoint that isn't in the spec. ## 3. Design rules **REST**: plural nouns, nesting at most two levels, correct status codes, cursor pagination, errors in RFC 9457 problem-details format, ETags for caching and safe concurrent updates. **GraphQL**: a DataLoader for every resolver that hits a database (no N+1), query depth and cost limits, persisted queries for public clients, Relay-style connections for pagination, mutation payloads that return user errors. **All styles**: - Authorization checked per object, not just per route. - Idempotency keys on requests that create records or move money (`reg-money`). - Rate limits and request size limits. - No personal or regulated data in URLs (`reg-phi`, `reg-pci`). - Additive changes only within a version; deprecate before removing. ## 4. Guard the contract in CI Fail the build on breaking changes (for example oasdiff for OpenAPI, graphql-inspector for SDL) unless a decision record approves them. Add contract tests and fuzz tests for public APIs.
