Hi, has someone switched api from json to some kind of binary serialization like protobuf and was mesureably happier? worth it?

The main advantage of protobuf is not that it is binary format, but because it have scheme out of the box, smaller in size or faster serialization/deserialization is just nice bonus imo.

right but postman, curl etc debugging is gone right?

If I remember well, some frameworks like Apache Thrift and similar can provide you a json serialization to debug messages, for testing and inspection needs

btw how does backend team usually deliver the schema? git submodule?
