Getting Started with GRPC and Node.js
GRPC (http://www.grpc.io/) is an RPC framework built on top of HTTP/2 and Protocol Buffers. It allows you to define your API as simple functions, and generate idiomatic clients for a variety of platforms, including Node.js, without worrying about the underlying networking. We'll walk through building a GRPC service in Node.js and using it from anywhere. I'll also share my tips and tricks from running it in production.
