gRPC, Protocol Buffers Workshop

Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) provide a useful abstraction for building distributed applications and services.

gRPC is an implementation of RPC protocol layered over HTTP/2.

gRPC uses Protocol Buffers as the Interface Definition Language (IDL) for describing both the service interface and the structure of the payload messages.

In this "hands on workshop" we will learn about RPC, ProtoBuf and gRPC.

We will write code that involves

. defining a service interface

. Protobuf based definition

. using protoc compiler to generate code in C++, Java, Python

. implement the client and server code

. troubleshooting and debugging

. if time permits, we will also do some benchmarking
