Building fast microservices with binary protocol - introduction to gRPC
summary
Claims gRPC is an open source, Google‑tested RPC that uses Protobuf3 and HTTP/2 streaming to get smaller binary messages, generated stubs, and client/server parity. Demos show Java Maven/Gradle integration, Spring Boot/RxJava hooks, and a working bi‑directional chat; generated code reduces boilerplate and the live demo runs. Measurements reported: internal Google traffic ~10^10 RPCs/sec and typical JSON over HTTP throughput is 2–3x slower, with noticeably better CPU and mobile bandwidth use.
