Episode 134 - gRPC

Listen Later

gRPC (gRPC Remote Procedure Calls[1]) is an open source remote procedure call (RPC) system initially developed at Google in 2015[2]. It uses HTTP/2 for transport, Protocol Buffers as the message format.

In this video I want to explore gRPC, go through examples, pros and cons of gRPC.

Client/ Server communication

  • SOAP
  • HTTP (REST)
  • WebSockets

    • Client Libraries

      • gRPC Pros and Cons

      Pros

      • Fast two/uni and request
      • Unform
      • One library to rule them all
      • Progress feedback( long synchronous requests) drop pluggable wait...)
      • cancel request
      • All benefits of H2 and Protobuff

        • Cons

        • schema based (not everyone wants schema)
        • Thick client - limited languages - Proxies still don’t understand it
        • Still young
        • Error handling
        • No native browser support
        • Timeouts, circuit breaker just like any RPC (pub/sub rules in this case)

          • Can you create your own protocol?
