  • Discover how gRPC compares and contrasts with similar technologies
  • Get the key to solving problems and building complex systems with gRPC

Description

While building systems that contain several components, you need a framework that is fast and has minimal network overhead. gRPC is one such open-source tool that is quickly becoming popular and gaining popularity with programmers. Practical gRPC introduces you to gRPC and explains how it compares and contrasts with similar technologies. You’ll be introduced to key technologies such as Protocol Buffers, and work your way up from basic gRPC usage, all the way through to its more advanced capabilities. You’ll learn the best practices for defining and evolving your gRPC APIs, and discover how different tools can be leveraged to get the most out of gRPC and even extend it. By the end of this book, you'll have all the information you need to get started building systems with gRPC.

Who is this book for?

Practical gRPC is for engineers writing applications with different components that need to talk to each other. If you are a backend developer who wants a solution with better performance than JSON and REST for connecting microservices, this book is for you. If you are looking for strong contracts and streaming when building APIs and services, this book is also for you.

What you will learn

  • Understand how Protocol Buffers are used to serialize structured data
  • Explore ways to establish reliable communication between microservices
  • Understand why gRPC is more fruitful than JSON and REST
  • Become familiar with smooth error handling tricks using gRPC
  • Decipher gRPC code written in different languages
  • Discover how to connect a client to a server using advanced gRPC techniques
