Chapter 5. Star Friends
It’s useful to start out with a simple example that includes the basics, so we can build a toolbox of concepts. In this chapter, you will learn how to design your gRPC application, and think in terms of the simplest building-blocks used to construct your API. This will be the basis that other chapters will build on, as you learn gRPC.
The example application is a simple cross-referenced set of models based on the SWAPI, with all of the data changed to be about “Star Friends” our fictitious set of movies about space travel and adventure. It includes info about Planets, Starships, Vehicles, People, Films and Species from all of these imaginary movies.
