Book Description

Beginning with an exploration of API evolution and its significance in software development, the book seamlessly transitions into the core concepts of gRPC architecture, protocol buffers, and stubs. Through practical examples and clear instructions, readers embark on a journey to establish their first gRPC server and client, laying a solid groundwork for further exploration.

Delving deeper into advanced topics such as communication patterns, error handling, and load balancing strategies specific to gRPC. With a strong emphasis on security, readers learn to implement TLS encryption, mutual authentication, and authorization mechanisms to fortify their applications. The book provides invaluable insights into best practices for constructing production-grade gRPC applications, complemented by real-world case studies that illustrate the versatility and scalability of gRPC across diverse project landscapes. This book equips readers with the confidence to design, implement, and deploy robust gRPC applications, catalyzing a transformative shift in their distributed system development approach.
