where did it come
from?
OVERVIEW
@getpostman
13. gRPC concepts
● Remote procedure calls
gRPC framework allows a client to execute a
“remote” (server-based) instruction as though it
were part of the local system.
● Supported method types
Unary, client streaming, server streaming,
bidirectional streaming
● Protocol buffers (protobuf)
Language-agnostic, platform-agnostic mechanism
for encoding structured data
● .proto file
Strongly-typed schema definition
@getpostman
14. Protocol buffers
gRPC uses Protocol Buffers for serializing structured data
● .proto file
Defines the service interface and the message types that
the service methods accept and return
● Services
Defines gRPC services with RPC method parameters and
return types specified as protocol buffer messages
● Messages
Protocol buffer data is structured as messages, where
each message is a small logical record of information
containing a series of name-value pairs called fields.

16. “gRPC is roughly 7 times
faster than REST when
receiving data & roughly
10 times faster than REST
when sending data for
this specific payload.
