gRPC Intro
summary
High-performance RPC framework that Google evolves from a decade of internal use and runs across tens of thousands of services handling tens of billions of RPCs per second; uses protocol buffers compiled to generate language-idiomatic stubs, supports unary and three streaming modes over HTTP/2, ships regular releases (1.11 noted), and exposes production tooling like channelz plus integrations with Envoy/nginx; RouteGuide example and a 3x throughput / 11x CPU improvement claim illustrate concrete gains and a working, extensible ecosystem.
