About:
gRPC is a modern, open-source remote procedure call (RPC) framework that can run anywhere. It uses Protocol Buffers as its interface definition language and provides efficient, low-latency communication across multiple languages. It enables client and server applications to communicate transparently and makes it easier to build connected systems.
Key Features:
  • High-performance HTTP/2 based transport
  • Strongly typed with Protocol Buffers
  • Supports bidirectional streaming
  • Cross-language support
  • Deadline propagation and cancellation
Use Cases:
  • Microservices communication
  • Mobile app and backend connectivity
  • Real-time data streaming
  • Cloud-native application development
Alternatives:
  • Apache Thrift – Similar multi-language RPC framework, but gRPC has better HTTP/2 integration
  • REST/JSON – More verbose and less performant, but simpler for basic web APIs
