GraphQL vs Firebase

With the variety of server-side technologies today, developers have a lot of choices when it comes to deciding what kind of backend to use for their next application.

In this article, we want to explore the differences between GraphQL and Firebase, two very popular server-side technologies.

Overview

Before diving into technical details, let's create some perspective on the two technologies and where they're coming from.

A few months back I wrote a comparison between RPC and REST for Smashing Magazine, and now I want to talk about the differences between REST and GraphQL: the new kid on the block.

GraphQL is incorrectly considered by some to be a "replacement" to REST. GraphQL is a newer concept, being released by Facebook publicly in 2015, whereas REST was a dissertation published by Roy Fielding in 2000, popularized by companies like Twitter (quite inaccurately) in 2006.

This article aims to cover a few notable differences, and make the following points:

REST and GraphQL are totally different GraphQL isn't a magic bullet, nor is it "better" You can definitely use both at the same time GraphQL is dope if used for the right thing
