The Tech gRPC is a strong player in microservices-based systems. Leveraging Protocol Buffers for well-defined API contracts, fast serialization (about X5 faster than JSON), smaller payloads, and the use of streams (thanks to HTTP/2). It’s easy to see why this technology for real-time microservice communication is a good choice.
HTTP/2 Unlike a typical REST API that’s built on top of HTTP/1.1, gRPC is built on top of HTTP/2. The most noticeable feature of HTTP/2 is the ability to perform server push. This feature allows servers to asynchronously push data to the client before the client asks for it. gRPC leverages server push to support streams, a key feature that separates gRPC from any other HTTP/1.1-based API. Because of that, HTTP/2 requires a long-lasting TCP connection between the client and the server.
