gRPC journey and findings

Stuff I liked about gRPC

• Speed, binary serialization
• Built in type-safety
• Actively maintained compilers for all languages I use
• Bidirectional streaming
• Single source of truth data definition, code sharing possible

  Didn’t like

• Complexity overhead
• Limited support

These aren’t really special or new findings, more a documentation of my first interactions with gRPC. I explored them here and am curios how I’ll view these statements in a few years.
