like many others mentioned this is highly contextual, but you can apply some general heuristics

if you’re after just ephemeral read on-the-fly, then probably REST/GraphQL with some light caching

if you’re building sth where you’re using onchain data to connect to your own data, caching in SQL+Redis works

forgot to mention that if you’re after a programmatic way to access data, it’s almost always going to be via some kind of endpoint like REST or GraphQL

the difference comes in what you do next with the data you now have access to
