How to: gRPC in C++

[@llawliet2248]

that a pretty cool and helpful block of information i just received! THANKS.

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stefanmuck2048]

Thank you very much. That helped me getting kick-started with grpc and protobuf.

[@antunesmoura8634]

CONGRATULATIONS ❤❤❤❤

[@rishiniranjan1746]

This has helped me a lot integrating grpc using docker approach. Thanks ❤

I subscribed because of C++ content done well. Funny thing, I first used RPC with C++ back in 1995 with DCE/Encina. After that I implemented RPC multiple times using raw TCP or HTTP or NATS. Recently a customer asked for gRPC, so here I am. 😀

[@innovationmafia3754]

same here 😃

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

You're a legend to use RPC that long ago!

[@sharathshetty8052]

​ @practicalsoftwaremarcus Naah, just makes me old. Concepts of marshalling/unmarshalling data existed even before that in Borland C++ libraries. Marry that with messaging, you can build your own RPC. I also worked on CORBA with C++ later, which used the IIOP protocol. But firewalls killed IIOP, and web services took off. GRPC is just the recent iteration of RPC protocol.

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

@@sharathshetty8052 I am familiar with this too. Worked in the semiconductor industry where they invented their own serialization /interface definition file 20 years ago ;). To me gRPC/Protobuf really captures a common problem.

The audio is so low.

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Really? I will keep that in mind when recording

[@kuchlong2]

You can fix it at post too

[@ВиталийБаханович-ч9ь]

Thanks for the video. Really helped with cmake

[@王小明-p4j]

This demo really use "Modern CMAKE", which complies the standard nowadays, nice.

[@wlepnoga]

The Wait() function starts an infinite loop, how to end it correctly? What does it mean from another thread?

[@elliepistalerro3097]

Thank you a lot! Please, continue to create a content

[@sarahfacanha]

Nice content 👍

[@munna5553]

Can you please make video on Drogon c++ web framework installation please

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Not foo familiar with it, will look into

[@sirrcharles1869]

Thanx for this super clear tutorial, you are a great teacher!

[@damondouglas]

Thank you so much for such a clear explanation.

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Glad to hear!!

[@Goodwill345]

Wonderful Video of all the capabilities

[@ozimandias1858]

Hi! I had a problem writing a cmake file that supports the case where one proto imports another inside itself. Could you please drop a link where a similar design is implemented. Everything I found is too cumbersome compared to what you have in video

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

I will share a public repo I worked on for pointcloud processing. Look for the `grpc`folder, I use multiple grpc files! github.com/Marcus-Forte/pointcloud-tools/tree/main/grpc

[@CarelessOutcast]

I really enjoyed this! Thanks for the content :)

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Very happy that you enjoyed!

[@mastermind9711]

Could ypu please share the link of the docs where the gRPC installation is mentioned? I tried searching for it but couldn't find any. I want the linux commands

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Sure. What I did was follow steps in grpc.io/docs/languages/cpp/quickstart/ and put them in the Dockerfile - specifically Linux & MacOs commands. Main difference being that inside a docker, you don't need to specify CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, you can install system-wide

[@rakshitx1]

Great Video, would love to know how to make those diagrams

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

I will make on dedicated to UML and the thinking behind crating diagrams!

[@mr.shredder5430]

great tutorial, with the cmake 👍

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Thank you!!

[@akshaypratap4123]

Great tutorial. From next time please post a github repo of your demonstration so that it would be easier for us to pick code.

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Thanks! Yes, I will post repositories on descriptions!

[@rishiniranjan1746]

Today i spent 5 hours straight to make cmake file run but of no use. I added grpc as a submodule. I received lots of file not found issues. Could you suggest any good cmake tutorial?

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

I have a video on cmake, have you checked it out? In my next video I will use grpc with cmake once, so maybe it helps further!

[@rishiniranjan1746]

@@practicalsoftwaremarcus yes I'm going through all your videos. 💓

[@theintjengineer]

You got another subscriber (because of the C++ Content haha). Btw: I'm also another Electrical Engineer who got lost in Software Engineering😅. Also, are you Brazilian?

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Thanks for subscribing! Yes, I am 🇧🇷😀

[@jayaprakash7959]

great tut

[@ozimandias1858]

Need videos about docker :-)

[@practicalsoftwaremarcus]

Will do!
