performance of a suitelet vs restlet as an api endpoint

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, the performance of a Suitelet versus a Restlet as an API endpoint in NetSuite can be summarized as follows: Suitelets and Restlets both serve as API tools in NetSuite, but they are used in different scenarios and have different strengths. Suitelets are like web pages or web apps. They are useful when you need interaction with the UI. When you request a Suitelet, it becomes a REST endpoint where you send it data, it processes the data, and sends you a result. However, you do not have access to the functions in the Suitelet in your client script. Restlets, on the other hand, are like your own crafted APIs that return data based on the exposed methods you make available via the Restlet and return data based on the parameters you send it. They are more suitable for extensive customization or preprocessing/cleaning of data. In terms of standardization, SuiteTalk REST provides a lot of standardization. However, maintainability could become an issue later if you proceed with Restlets. Therefore, it is suggested to check the standard SuiteTalk REST endpoint first before deciding to use Restlets.
