Lunch & Learn: From Protobuf to Production - A Guide to gRPC in Rust
Details
gRPC is an open-source framework developed by Google, which enables strongly typed and fast communication between services and clients as an alternative to traditional RESTful APIs. This is especially powerful when combined with Rust, which also prioritises safety and speed.
This talk draws from experience working with a real-world production codebase that defines multiple gRPC services within a single Rust binary. The aim is to provide an overview of gRPC in Rust by walking through the process of building a gRPC service, explaining the advantages/disadvantages of gRPC, and tracing the journey of how a single request flows through the entire system and back.

Is Women in Rust only for women?
We set up Women in Rust to foster a more inclusive and diverse Rust community by providing a dedicated space for women to connect, learn, and grow. Our online and in-person events are designed to support this mission. However, we also want to contribute to the wider Rust community, which is why all of our talks will be available to watch on YouTube Youtube after the event. We also welcome you to use our Notion Resources page, where you can find useful articles, reading materials and advice to help you on your journey in learning Rust.
