Introduction to gRPC

gRPC is an open source remote procedure call (RPC) system that was developed at Google back in 2015, is built on top of HTTP/2, allows you to create services easily, and uses protocol buffers as the IDL which specifies the format of the interchanged messages and the service interface.

gRPC clients and servers can be written in any programming language without the need to have clients written in the same programming language as their servers. This means that you can develop a client in Python, even if the gRPC server is implemented in Go. The list of supported programming languages includes, but is not limited to, Python, Java, C++, C#, PHP, Ruby, and Kotlin.

The advantages of gRPC include the following:

The use of binary format for data exchange makes gRPC faster than services that work with data in plain text format
The command-line tools provided make your work simpler and faster
Once you have defined the functions and the...
