Join us for an In-Person gRPC Global Meetup, where software developers, mobile developers, and technology enthusiasts will come together to dive into the exciting world of distributed systems and new technologies.

Abstract:
We will explore the latest advancements in gRPC and how it can enable seamless communication across different platforms and programming languages. Our industry experts will share their insights and experiences on using gRPC for building microservices architectures and leveraging cloud computing capabilities. Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting your journey in software development, this meetup will provide valuable knowledge and networking opportunities.

gRPC - An introduction (25 minutes)

• Who uses gRPC and what is it good for
• Explain the gRPC architecture and how it supports distributed computing

Lessons learned developing gRPC for Web platforms (30 minutes)

• The plans for gRPC-Web.
• Discover how we built gRPC for Web platforms, overcoming unique challenges to work within both open-source and Google environments.
• Learn valuable lessons from our experience, get insights into the future of grpc-web, and understand the evolving role of gRPC (and RPC) in web development.

Speakers:

Eryu Xia is a Google engineer. He has been the main maintainer of gRPC-Web since 2021. Prior to joining gRPC, Eryu worked on mobile networking for Google Chat.

Ivy Zhuang is a Google engineer and a gRPC maintainer. Ivy will explain the gRPC architecture and how and why gRPC is used.
