Overview
gRPC is a modern, open-source, high-performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework designed to connect services in and across data centers efficiently. It utilizes Protocol Buffers as its Interface Definition Language (IDL), enabling compact binary serialization. gRPC supports multiple programming languages and platforms, automatically generating client and server stubs. It features bi-directional streaming and integrated authentication with HTTP/2-based transport. Its architecture supports pluggable load balancing, tracing, and health checking. gRPC is used for connecting devices, mobile applications, and browsers to backend services. The framework facilitates rapid development and scalability, handling millions of RPCs per second.
