gRPC: The Tool You're Probably Misusing

gRPC is fast, strongly typed, and elegant. So why do teams still hesitate when it gets proposed? Because the promise of gRPC and the reality of running it in production are often very different. In this talk we explore where gRPC truly shines: internal service-to-service communication, bi-directional streaming, and polyglot systems with strict contracts. We also cover its hidden costs: browser limitations, Proto discipline, operational complexity, and late-night debugging. With a live REST vs gRPC demo, you'll learn when to use it and when not to.
