SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires aiohttp, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Design teams need to select and implement API patterns across REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and tRPC to align architecture with use cases and platform constraints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Framework guidance for REST (FastAPI, Hono, Axum, Gin)
  • GraphQL patterns (Strawberry, async-graphql, gqlgen, Pothos)
  • gRPC and tRPC setup for type-safe cross-language APIs
  • Pagination, OpenAPI generation, and frontend integration patterns
  • Real-world scenarios including public APIs, microservices, and edge deployments

Quick Start

Scaffold a multi-pattern API backend using REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and tRPC with the recommended frameworks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and tRPC for my backend architecture?

To choose an API pattern, align your architecture with specific use cases and platform constraints. REST suits public APIs, while GraphQL optimizes flexible data fetching, gRPC enables microservices communication, and tRPC provides type safety for full-stack TypeScript.

Can I scaffold a multi-pattern API backend using FastAPI and Hono?

Yes, you can scaffold a multi-pattern API backend using REST frameworks like FastAPI, Hono, Axum, and Gin. The setup covers architecture decisions, framework recommendations, and frontend integration patterns for common stacks.

What is the best way to implement GraphQL APIs across different languages?

The best way to implement GraphQL APIs across languages is using frameworks like Strawberry for Python, async-graphql for Rust, gqlgen for Go, and Pothos for TypeScript, ensuring type-safe cross-language API architecture.

How do I set up gRPC and tRPC for type-safe cross-language APIs?

Set up gRPC and tRPC for type-safe cross-language APIs by using Tonic, Connect-Go, and tRPC frameworks. This approach covers architecture decisions and framework setup for microservices and edge deployments.

Does this guidance include OpenAPI generation and pagination patterns?

Yes, the guidance includes OpenAPI generation and pagination patterns. It provides tooling for OpenAPI documentation and covers frontend integration patterns for common stacks across REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and tRPC.
