Overview of this book

In recent years, the popularity of microservice architecture has surged, bringing forth a new set of requirements. Among these, efficient communication between the different services takes center stage, and that's where gRPC shines. This book will take you through creating gRPC servers and clients in an efficient, secure, and scalable way. However, communication is just one aspect of microservices, so this book goes beyond that to show you how to deploy your application on Kubernetes and configure other tools that are needed for making your application more resilient. With these tools at your disposal, you’ll be ready to get started with using gRPC in a microservice architecture. In gRPC Go for Professionals, you'll explore core concepts such as message transmission and the role of Protobuf in serialization and deserialization. Through a step-by-step implementation of a TODO list API, you’ll see the different features of gRPC in action. You’ll then learn different approaches for testing your services and debugging your API endpoints. Finally, you’ll get to grips with deploying the application services via Docker images and Kubernetes.

Epilogue

Production-Grade APIs

Up until now, we’ve focused on the features provided by gRPC and those added by community projects. That was an important topic but it wasn’t the whole story. We now need to think about how to test, debug, and deploy our gRPC server.

In this chapter, we are going to see how to unit and load test our services. Then, we are going to see how we can manually interact with our API to debug it. Finally, we are going to see how we can containerize and deploy our services. This chapter is divided into the following main topics:

  • Testing APIs
  • Debugging using server reflection
  • Deploying gRPC services on Kubernetes
