Should I use REST or GraphQL for my mobile backend?

REST is the right call for most mobile apps. It is simpler, cacheable through HTTP layers, well understood by every mobile platform, and has lower client side overhead. GraphQL is the right call when the mobile app has highly variable query shapes (e.g. a dashboard with many widgets each fetching different fields), when bandwidth is critical, or when multiple client types consume the same backend with different data needs. We build both, and we recommend honestly based on your specific use case rather than fashion. More on our API development page.
