Best practice create new doc via API?

[rahy]

I see that to create new doc on remote server can be achieved via 2 ways:

• using REST POST to directly create a new doc on remote.
• using RPC POST to trigger a method on remote that runs frappe.new_doc(doctype-name).

I’m not a developer so I have these questions:

• which one is considered best practice?
• which is more efficient, safe, etc?
• if both ways are the same, when to use each?

Thank you.

Netlify + Gatsby JS + ERPNext (JAMStack) => Has anyone used it?

I was just wondering if someone had tried to use ERPNext // Frappe Apps as CMS and executed any e-commerce project. Typically someone would use the JAMStack (JavaScript, API, Markdown) and deploy on Netlify. Wanted to understand their experience on how what limitations // challenges did you face using ERPNext’s REST API. Would be great to hear some thoughts.
