Technical requirements

For this chapter, you will find the relevant code in the folder called chapter7 in the accompanying GitHub repository (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/gRPC-Go-for-Professionals/tree/main/chapter7).

In the last section, I will use Kubernetes to show client-side load balancing. I assume that you already have Docker installed and a Kubernetes cluster. This can be done any way you want, but I provide a Kind (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) configuration to spin up a cluster easily and locally. This configuration is situated under the k8s folder of chapter7 and in the file called kind.yaml. Once Kind is installed, you can use it like so:

$ kind create cluster --config k8s/kind.yaml

And you can dispose of it by running the following command:

$ kind delete cluster
