gRPC 101 for Java Developers by Ray Tsang

gRPC is a high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first. gRPC is based on many years of Google's experience in building distributed systems - it is designed to be low latency, bandwidth and CPU efficient, to create massively distributed systems that span data centers, as well as power mobile apps, real-time communications, IoT devices and APIs. It's also interoperable between multiple languages.
But beyond that fact that it's more efficient than REST, we'll look into how to use gRPC's streaming API, where you can establish server-side streaming, client-side streaming, and bidirectional streaming! This allows developers to build sophisticated real-time applications with ease.
In addition to learning about gRPC and HTTP/2 concepts with code and demonstrations, we'll also deep dive into integration with existing build systems such as Maven and Gralde, but also frameworks such as Spring Boot and RxJava. - Configuring projects to generate gRPC stub code - Using Protobuf3 to define services - Creating synchronous and asynchronous services, with streaming. - Load balancing - Intercepts.

The talk is not only educational, but also fun to watch. Awesome Ray! Keep up the good work! Thanks.

Fantastic! It helps basic understanding of grpc very well rather than going thru some tutorials or whatever online or books. If someone don't understand first time, watch second time along with tryout yourself in lappy.

I found this video is one of the good videos on topic of gRPC with java. Great job Ray

[@chandragie]

I felt so depressed knowing he mentioned all the stuffs in 2017 and I just got to know them not too long ago....

[@SamiulsBlog]

Great video. I was trying to figure out why we are using StreamObservable, even though my return was not a stream. This video has lots of info which are hard to figure out from the documentation.

Excelent talk! Learned a lot.

[@abrahammoyo3457]

Well taught and well demonstrated

[@laxmanmule9313]

please make video on test cases of GRPC method

[@jamilxt]

Insightful! Thank you.
