gRPC Crash Course - Modes, Examples, Pros & Cons and more

[@usmonbekravshanov6933]

I really like you giving the "Why" question at the start when always explaining something. Whenever I have the very "Why" question, I look for the answer in your channel. Thanks very much for your dedication

[@quintinmakwe176]

"it's like a first date, take it slow, take it slow guys" 😂 This channel is gold

[@dishantbatra992]

Your youtube channel is a Gold mine for someone who wants to explore the backend world. Every time I start to learn something new, I first check whether you have already explained it or not. Thank you so much for uploading such High-Quality content for free. Will look forward to amazing content in the near future also :).

[@owaistnt]

Making a crash course is already a very tedious process. But you make everything so simple. "Simple ain't easy". Being an Android dev I like to watch your videos. Thank You

[@seanlong7501]

I've been at this life for 20 years now (33atm), hands down the best introduction i've had to a new (to me) tool/underlying-protocol. Starting now I will always check your channel first when adopting new tech. Thank You

[@TheLegendSpeaker]

I turn my ad-blocker off when watching your videos:) Thank you for all the useful videos!

[@karimnaufal9792]

Hahaha, that's awesome lol, gonna do the same!!

Loved the introduction, straight to the point, no nonsense like saying "Hi guysssss, welcome back to another episode of... here in this..." omg thanks. Also no annoying music and a slowed-down voice when throwing information away, to not overload the receiver. Pure gold!

[@nishantgupta9735]

I will always remember "today, the 4th of December 2023" when I discovered your channel. Amazing Amazing teaching style and content. Despite the humour and jokes, the content is seriously well thought out and structured !

[@HennuhoMifirinso]

My God! how come I'm just seeing this and I've been watching your videos for more than 5 years. You're simply the best

[@Hi_Chew]

Very informative and clear introduction of gRPC! I'm a devOps guy, understanding gRPC basics will help me build efficient infrastructures to support the microservices. This is a very good introduction for me to dive into gRPC.

[@sulabhnepal5534]

From watching your video to pass interviews to watching them for Job application.. I grew up

[@instantshinramen]

Incredible content. The way you explain and walk through concepts (and especially with the coding session) is top notch. And your excitement is contagious!

[@bmutthoju8797]

Good thing they open-sourced it. People interested in writing libraries can contribute to the gRPC code-base instead of writing their own library from scratch!

[@allenabishek1478]

awesome bro, i was breaking my head trying to understand this, thanks for your service to mankind by uploading this video and the simple clear concise means of communication is solid gold.

[@aGj2fiebP3ekso7wQpnd1Lhd]

As someone who builds SaaS at scale, I appreciate your take on industry nonsense and reasoning

[@mostinho7]

Watched thanks Todo take notes It seems that the single biggest advantage is that it abstracts away the underlying protocol like http2, and uses protobuff binary format Has support for server streaming (client makes a call and registers a callback on that call. The server then keeps streaming back objects and that triggers the client callback to handle the object stream)

[@vahaggrigoruyan7228]

Thank you bro hehe just as crazy as i am , behind every single word i can feel the SUPER PROFESSIONALISM hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah Keep it UP and never forget the GOLDEN RULE

[@sahaling]

Awesome content. Thanks for this. You teach, as if you are talking to a friend. :)

[@debmalyadesarkar2075]

Thank u Hussein Nasser to make this complicated thing real easy .... saved a lot of time

[@KhoaNguyen-kq7sb]

really like the way you make it, Focus in why we need this, most people don't care about the reason, but i think this is the most importance thing

[@tomasdohnal]

phenomenal video, awesome balance between theory and practical example app!

[@x86me75]

This channel is awesome, what a gem.

[@jointtask]

crazy way you talk keeps my attention . love it 🙏

[@rodrigobautista3768]

best video explanation for gRPC so far ! excellent job @Hussein Nasser

[@nadaralpenidze9549]

"Take the whole array and shove it down the client's throat" 😂😂 I wish I could like the video twice

[@marlunyu]

Very clear explanations. Use of simple, understandable language also appreciated. Also, happy and excited manner keeps my attention. Genuinely didn't realise this video was over an hour long, flew by. Also, really liked how you zoomed in on the code. Really good feature. I was following along with this video only on half on my screen, so didn't need to strain my eyes. Thank you!

[@anylookup]

Some other downsides of gRPC and Protobuf to add to your list: gRPC weaknesses - Protobuf is not human-readable. This can make debugging and payload analysis more difficult than they would be with a human-readable format. - HTTP/2 still has some latency issues due to headers being used in each exchange. - Although apps can use the code libraries to access gRPC, web browsers don’t support it directly. This means you must use a proxy such as gRPC Web to support gRPC in browsers.

[@krasimiratanasov6030]

Super cool video. Enjoyed it a lot! On the topic of browsers lack of gRPC - I would speculate that the main idea is to use gRPC in browsers via web assemlies.

[@ryx_zyan]

too much rubbish talk

[@lord12790]

Hi Hussein, New viewer here, protobuf and grpc brought here, awesome explanation and like way you explain. Giving as much as someone can in a light mood. Awesome. Love your content. One request, can you explain with example WebRTC? Thanks, Ratnadeep

[@hnasr]

Thanks Ratnadeep for your wonderful message and welcome to the channel 😊 WebRTC has been requested alot and it is on my list. It is a very complex topic since it has so much low level networking that the audience must understand. So its gonna take me a while but its coming :) thanks again

[@JohnDemetriou]

From rpc to rmi and back to rpc :)

[@armandomiani]

We should have "like levels"! This would be a huge like :-D

[@gitanshgarg3146]

Love the way you tell and teach your videos are really informative thanks 👍

[@minirasamedova648]

you are a GOD! that you so much for the content, this is life saving!!

[@gerooq]

This reminds me of libp2p: A library for peer-to-peer communication that implements all known open source protocols (Bluetooth, WebRTC, TCP, UDP etc) so all you have to do is use the libp2p api as an abstraction layer on top of the implementations. You can even plug in your own custom protocol and extend libp2p's capabilities. Can you do that with gRPC?

[@zzzfortezzz]

Thanks for the video, it's informative, love your video

[@MrEmirMujo]

Thank you very much Hussein. God bless you.

[@adityaallam]

Hey Hussien awesome content, thanks a lot! Is grpc stateless or stateful?

[@ahmedb.hameed3330]

I would consider Schema as a Pros. In Rest API, if you don't care about documentation, then you literally lost after 1 year of continuous development. I know there is swagger but it is not stendar or native.

[@teamsalvation]

you left out the awesomness of CORBA 🙃

Do you have a tutorial for this in PHP Laravel? Btw great crash course . I learned more about gRPC because you presented it with a clear explanation.

[@anil2oct]

Simply awesome !!!

[@samferrer]

Nice presentation... as always ... but the cons could be constructive... for instance forcing a schema establishes a protocol across architectures, projects, organisations and so on. And once it is established test automation would be easier and solid

[@rajeshprajapati1851]

Thanks for the video. !!!

[@angelinewidjaja7160]

Hi Hussein, Thanks for the awesome video. I am new to gRPC, it is said in the video that the reason gRPC is invented is because there is only one library for all, but then I think every language have their own gRPC library too? so it is no better than REST in this case? Please correct me if I am wrong. Just confused about it. Thank you

[@diaryofsuman]

I am also new to gRPC. But aren't the libraries in other languages lightweight libs as gRPC is the one that handles all the heavylifting? Hopefully it helps.

[@shashikantkushwaha1740]

Great Content 👏👏

[@thomasterance98]

Awesome content!

[@anz111]

Thanks for the video! What do you think about developing gRPC service between using Node.JS and Golang? I've seen a lot of job posts with gRPC also mentions Go instead of Node.JS. Does Golang have a better tooling or there are something else that makes using Golang with gRPC is a better choice?

[@hnasr]

I don't have a favorite to be honest it really depends on your use cases for the language of choice but the goal of gRPC is so that the language you use to build your backend doesn't matter.

[@Ipat639]

I remember times when we have to make interactions with server based on tcp sockets. That’s was awfull, soap was like breath of fresh air

Your explanation is simple and amazing. I like your energy, bro. If I may ask, is it possible to provide C++ codes for your coding example 19:49? I have Zero knowledge of javascript and I am quite new to this field(gRPC) 😅

[@deepanshumishra4568]

You can use chatGPT to translate it to C++ 😊

[@ramkaruppaiah2816]

Hi Hussein, u r doing great job Do we need her to run proto file as u did in protobuf tutorial? I ran in problem that my req are getting in server, request is empty object. How to solve this?

[@SaifUlIslam-di5xv]

Great talk!

[@PourdadDaneshmand]

Thanks for your tutorial . Very nice , I think gRPC uses for cimmunication between micro services on your servers . For example you have on micro service for uploading or downloading's files. Other micro services for using upload or download files , Call grpc services for uploading or downloading . Am I right ?

[@hnasr]

Pourdad Daneshmand correct! That is one use case it can be used for any communication between microservices uploading and downloading files is attractive because of the compression and binary format you get with gRPC.

[@PourdadDaneshmand]

@@hnasr Thanks

[@Sebastian-zs8cp]

Hi, can you make a video with spring boot gradle grpc microservice and talk with Smartphone app(client as rest api)

[@borisvoychev476]

Hey Hussein Nasser, great video! You are awesome! :) It would be great if you make a video about GRPC load balancing and how HTTP/2 long-lived TCP connection seems to be the problem. I know that you love proxies and I think this video will be very helpful. :) Keep the great work.

[@hnasr]

Thanks Boris! Yes its tough to load balance stateful protocols like gRPC This is one I talked about http/2 load balancing kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpLZgIx4rs6HiLM

[@newtonsarr1234]

@Hussein Nasser, great explanation ! My question to you is: What would you use to build a web app similar to Zoom in functionality, but more performant and flexible. WebSocket vs webRTC vs gRPC ?

[@hnasr]

To support video/audio and I get to pick between the three I would pick webRTC for audio/video and with websockets as metadata
