Adopting gRPC: Overcoming Team and Technical Hurdles • Josh Humphries • GOTO 2019

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Chicago 2019. #gotocon #gotochgo http://gotochgo.com Josh Humphries - Contributor to the gRPC and Protocol Buffer ABSTRACT gRPC and Protocol Buffers are becoming industry standards for exchanging data across systems and stitching together micro-services to build scalable applications. But there are barriers for new teams that want to adopt gRPC, such as minimal tooling for testing, inspecting, and interacting with gRPC servers.

In this talk, we will introduce gRPC to those unfamiliar and discuss its benefits and tradeoffs. We will also describe other obstacles to adopting gRPC, and discuss patterns and best practices that can help overcome these obstacles to make developers more productive. Lastly, we’ll demo some of the tools that FullStory has built, grpcurl and grpcui [...] Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotochgo.com/2019/sessions/870 RECOMMENDED BOOKS Kasun Indrasiri & Danesh Kuruppu • gRPC: Up and Running • https://amzn.to/3sBGBJJ Mike Amundsen • Design and Build Great Web APIs • https://bookshop.org/a/9452/9781680506808 https://twitter.com/gotochgo https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConference https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- http://gotocon.com #gRPC #microservices #APIs #k8s Looking for a unique learning experience?
