gRPC with Rust and Tonic

gRPC and Protocol Buffers in Rust — One Schema to Rule Them All
When building a service consumed by multiple clients, choosing the right communication protocol matters. While REST and JSON remain ubiquitous for their simplicity, they come with a hidden cost: there is no single, authoritative definition of your API. Michael will show how gRPC and Protocol Buffers address this with a schema-first approach, where a single .proto file serves as the source of truth — generating type-safe client and server code for Rust, Python, and C/C++ alike. He will cover the practical side of building gRPC services in Rust using tonic and prost, discuss the trade-offs compared to REST, and share experiences from a real-world project.
