Ask HN: gRPC in 2022, Yay or Nay?

4 pointsby MathCodeLovealmost 3 years ago
I haven't heard much about gRPC in a few years, is it worth adopting now or is it still a hyper-niche use case technology?

It&#x27;s pretty solid. Go support is impeccable, Protobufs have lots of language support.<p>It&#x27;s a lot easier to add features to a protobuf than to other RPC systems I&#x27;ve used. That&#x27;s a huge advantage because your clients and server don&#x27;t have to upgrade in lockstep

Yeah, gRPC is mainstream at this point -- much better to generate API clients when you can, instead of hand-rolling your own, especially as the number of engineers and teams in an organization grow.
