Summary

This ends our chapter on interacting with remote data sources. We looked at how to connect to SQL databases with examples using Postgres. We looked at what RPCs are and talked about the two most popular types of RPC services, REST and gRPC. Finally, we have written servers and clients for both frameworks.

This chapter has given you the ability to connect to the most popular databases and cloud services to get and retrieve data. Now you can write your own RPC services to develop cloud applications.

In the next chapter, we will utilize this knowledge to build tooling that controls jobs on remote machines.

So, without further ado, let's jump into how to write command-line tools.
