Everything will get deprecated eventually, like RestTemplate or before that we were using http client(it is not deprecated but no one uses it for REST anymore) for REST calls. Also OpenFeign looks like will stay long because it is a binder, you can use different clients underneath, so OpenFeign is kind of a higher abstraction layer, You can see further details here.
