Chapter 11: gRPC-based API Development and Testing

You will learn how to implement gRPC-based APIs in this chapter. You will learn how to write the gRPC server and client along with writing the APIs based on gRPC. In the later part of this chapter, you will be introduced to microservices and will see how they will help you to design modern scalable architecture. Here, you will go through the implementation of two services – the gRPC server and the gRPC client. gRPC-based APIs are more popular and preferred for inter-service communication in a microservice-based system. Hence, gRPC development skills are an important topic in the API space.

You will explore the following topics in this chapter:
