Adopting gRPC: Overcoming Team and Technical Hurdles
summary
FullStory uses gRPC across services and ships two tools to fix adoption gaps: grpcurl (a curl‑like CLI) and grpcui (a web UI). Both rely on server reflection to list services, describe methods, and send JSON requests; grpcurl also supports streaming via stdin/stdout. Recommendations include a gRPC skeleton with interceptors for metrics/tracing/auth, a standard health/reflection service, and proto organization patterns. gRPC itself supports 10 official languages and a canonical set of 17 error codes.
