OpenShift Commons Briefing Summary
In this briefing, Google's Ray Tsang discussed how to use gRPC’s streaming API, where you can establish server-side streaming, client-side streaming, and bidirectional streaming. This allows developers to build sophisticated real-time applications with ease.
In addition to learning about gRPC and HTTP/2 concepts with code and demonstrations, we’ll also take a deep dive into integration with existing build systems such as Maven and Gradle, but also frameworks such as Spring Boot and RxJava.
- Configuring projects to generate gRPC stub code
- Using Protobuf3 to define services
- Creating synchronous and asynchronous services, with streaming
- Load balancing
- Interceptors
gRPC is a high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first. gRPC is based on many years of Google’s experience in building distributed systems – it is designed to be low latency, bandwidth and CPU efficient, to create massively distributed systems that span data centers, as well as power mobile apps, real-time communications, IoT devices and APIs. It’s also interoperable between multiple languages.
The main usage scenarios:
- Efficiently connecting polyglot services in microservices style architecture
- Connecting mobile devices, browser clients to backend services
- Generating efficient client libraries
Core Features that make it awesome: - Idiomatic client libraries in 10 languages
- Highly efficient on wire and with a simple service definition framework
- Bi-directional streaming with http/2 based transport
- Pluggable auth, tracing, load balancing and health checking
gRPC is now a CNCF hosted project, you can learn more about gRPC on OpenShift here.
