Exploring AI, full-stack development, and technical leadership
An in-depth overview of my empirical research comparing Go and Java programming languages with gRPC and REST communication architectures for API performance optimization.
Deep dive into the StdSize experiment results showing how gRPC consistently outperforms REST for typical API payloads, with detailed performance rankings and statistical analysis.
Counter-intuitive findings from the LargeSize experiment where REST proves faster than gRPC for bulk data transfers, challenging assumptions about modern API performance.
Rigorous 2kr factorial analysis reveals that communication architecture explains 94-96% of API performance variance, while programming language contributes only 2%.
A transparent discussion of study limitations, validity threats, and step-by-step instructions to replicate the Go vs Java, gRPC vs REST experiment.
