Answer from AI
gRPC is a modern framework for remote procedure calls (RPC), based on HTTP/2 and using the Protocol Buffers protocol for data serialization.
Main advantages of gRPC:
- High performance due to binary format and HTTP/2
- Support for multiple programming languages
- Support for data streaming (unidirectional and bidirectional)
- Clearly defined contract through .proto files
- Efficient handling of microservices and distributed systems
Example of usage: a client calls a service method, passing data, and receives a response, with fast exchange and minimal overhead.
