[@ngiafeno7544]

I was looking for that topic on your channel last week. Now it is. Thank you. The way you explain is awesome.

[@sachanamit1]

Simplistic approach, great points, precise explanation. The animations make it much easier to follow and remember. You are amazing!

[@levonsarkisyan8389]

God this is the best bite-sized system design content I have ever seen, thank you so much for existing, BBG

[@Tony-dp1rl]

ByteByteGo videos pack so much useful information into such short videos, astounding work. Respect.

[@jayakrishnanazhakath6587]

Simple and concise, really helpful teaching. Love the animations btw 👍

[@rakshithraki]

Simple, clean, precise - right on point. Great animations too, Thanks a lot

[@juststudying1019]

Man amazing, your channel is a treasure, you and hussein nasser are the best channels which talk about Backend. Thanks.

[@marcusravi1684]

So well explained! I have been using gRPC go since the past two years and I love teaching it to other people. I didn't know about gRPC Web. Guess we learn something new everyday. Thanks!

[@nuurgeedi7439]

Bro could you teach me some

[@qataracgnacgn]

You explain the topic well, including the nuances . Thank you.

[@merrymouse2008]

Thank you so much for such a nice, clear explanation and for investing your time into it. I have now a better understanding of gRPC!

[@vicenterendo]

Oh my god thank you so much!!! After reading tens of articles, your vid finally did the job. Keep it up!

[@ganeshmourya2709]

I will give an arm to learn that animation

[@jordanet1]

What about a leg

[@arjanbal3972]

What will they do with your arm? You should give a kidney, they fetch a better price

[@MiniKodjo]

They probably use a tool. That's not hand made

[@techexec]

@@MiniKodjo can you learn it and teach us?

[@swyxTV]

what tool do you use to make something like this? dont say aftereffects… that would take foreveer and i dont think hes a professional animator

[@mikeshin77]

Thanks for a simple and easy explanation!

[@plussin2760]

한 번에 이해했습니다. 감사합니다. 선생님

[@sofakingwetalldid2017]

Amazing explanation, clear and concise. Thanks

[@mahi-lapse]

The way of explanation is awesome.

[@crude-dude]

Great summary with cool animations. This video needs more views!

[@metalheader1]

Brilliant video, explained all I needed to know in a succinct manner!

[@ericbwertz]

Great video. I knew nothing about gRPC and now I am one.

[@sanjitselvan5348]

Your animations are smooth and easy on the eyes 👌

[@hydtechietalks3607]

AWESOME BROTHERN! Love your Videos.. Hugs from Hyderabad, INDIA!

[@CyberKinetiks]

One problem with gRPC using HTTP/2 is that it doesn't load-balance well. HTTP/2 relies on a persistent connection and sends many requests through the same connection, which means, all these requests go to one node. It overloads one node, barely using others. There are workarounds, such as forced disconnects, proxies, client-side balancing. But again, they are workarounds, meaning, they require extra effort to mitigate a design flaw. Not really a flaw, HTTP/2 is still good because it reduces overhead on connection creation, but had it used HTTP/1.1, the balancing problem wouldn't be the case.

[@adwaitgodbole7671]

with HTTP/1.1 there will be head of line blocking problem

[@keivankashanimanesh]

Thanks for your optimized description

[@boopfer387]

excellent thank you very much - took me a few time to understand what RPC is.

[@felipecaetano426]

bytebytego always transforming me in a better programmer, one byte at time :)

[@muraliboddu4007]

great explanation in simple and fast way

[@Babbili]

The best video explained gRPC ever, i subscribed

[@dabbopabblo]

I aspire to one day work on highly standardized and thoughtfully implemented libraries and standards similar to gRPC. I love the idea that a tool can be so well designed and implemented that it becomes a defaulto standard for developers alike and the backbone for the services we use on a daily basis without even having to think about it.

[@prashanthb6521]

Very lucid explanation. Thank you sir.

[@GeiltonXavier]

Hey Sahn, very nice explanation, thanks for sharing!.

[@yixian5944]

Thanks ,very simple and clearly.

[@guhkunpatata3150]

great explanation, animation and easy to understand. i learned about gRPC as mean for communication between internal services, seems like it is also could be open for public. wonder about the security implementation though

[@arcosd63]

Very well explained. Thank you.

[@mayanknagwanshi]

ByteByteGo why dint i find your channel earlier! no bs, crisp content, to the point

[@MrSuriyam]

Thank you for breaking it to understand easier.

[@jay6645]

Very nice introduction. Gives me a leg in. Thanks Alex :)

[@setoelkahfi]

A real well made technical video

[@adibhanna]

Great video! how do you create these animations?

[@PahanSarathchandra]

Awesome content. thank you.

[@axa993]

Great video, as always!

[@leomysky]

Wonderful work, appreciate it a lot, thank you

[@codelinx]

Brian, you legend. You got the tech Rizz.

[@chinmayghule8272]

I understood nothing but one day I'd surely like to learn this. I wish the video was more detailed and noob-friendly.

[@walternuss116]

Cool explanation! Thanks!

[@JRis44]

Thanks for the video. I have so much to learn. Just learning this stuff to become valuable to the Bitcoin development community someday.

[@user-lc6xr5kq2k]

Simple and clearly explained. Thanks for the great video. The animations in the video is really great, may I know which tool you used to make the video ? Thanks

[@anonymous_anonymity]

I am an absolute beginner. I hardly understood anything. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the video. Impressed by the presentation and motivated me to do further research.

[@madhangopal5878]

I love your work. Pls keep going more.

[@footflaps]

Really good summary!

[@1thiagocruz]

Very straight forward, simple and short! Thank you! By the way, what video maker do you use for those animations?

[@RobertPodosek]

This question is always asked then dodged. We want to know!

[@jamius19]

Most probably Adobe After Effects.

[@aqwork4732]

This is incredible, thank you

[@bananesalee7086]

this channel is growing so fast

[@lholhofox]

Here I am again!! thank you for your videos!! Keep it up!!

[@markmcfadden7428]

Thanks this was useful.

[@v_lix]

Exciting Topic!

[@kavitabora7655]

Keep continue posting. 🙏

[@jayantsande]

Nice flicks of videos ! good learning channel . 👍

[@mnchester]

Amazing video!

[@cengizhanvarl5025]

nice explanations

[@sayanbhattacharyya1455]

Really awesome!!

[@tsuichamp]

Thank you for the tutorial .. I have quesrion regarding gRPC usage: if the client application isn't web-based, would using gRPC for external services also be an option ?

[@jemimagao5637]

good work, thank you

[@buyanaal81]

Presentation is very good and animated. What tool you used?

[@stanislavmalyshev5209]

Thank u a lot for your videos)

[@jonylee8064]

Yeh, thank you very much!

[@guru2013-cse]

wondering how you make these animations/flows? they are amazing!

[@chitraparihar5985]

Thanks for making simple and informative. I really like your all sessions. I took Bybytego Subscription but no new content is getting updated there Is that static content only?

[@lucasfreire8360]

Excellent video

[@quangnguyendinh2936]

best channel ever

[@jimwichen7978]

thank you

[@bazoo513]

How does gRPC compare to ancient SUN RPC with XDR buffer formatting? Sounds pretty similar to me, down to efficient binary architecture- and language-agnostic buffer format and tooling that produces client and server stubs from a specification file.

[@andrewzakordonets]

I'm sorry if you had this question many times already, but what software are you using to build such an amazing visual presentation of the flow ?

[@deathbombs]

It's a fang company trade secret sauce. Need to earn it

[@ramana1729]

Superb video.

[@TanvirHossain110]

hi, really appriciate you content. I'm having a hard time to visualize the meaning of Stream. I just wanna know, what exactly Stream is.

[@KobiCohenArazi]

nice! thanks!

[@hadiesmaeli6124]

Thanks alot

[@imrank7]

When do you recommend NOT using gRPC for inter-service communication? btw, love the animations.

[@muhammadsulemanbashir2168]

Due to the efficiency and performance of gRPC. It is preferable for inter-service communication which is more prevalent in a microservice architecture. Secondly, gRPC uses HTTP/2 which makes the network communication smooth, and proto buffers as data communication protocol. If you want to expose APIs for the world through web services to interact with your server then in my opinion it is recommended to use JSON/WSDL as these are more human readable. Also as Sahn mentioned in the video we can use gRPC-Web for it but it is not fully compatible. But who knows this will also change with gRPC calls in the future.

[@HaitingHZZhang]

Is there any security mechanism in gRPC?

[@everestshadow]

When you don't want the overhead of http. It's very normal for local service group to interact each other through tcp/udp messages and only when data come from or go to internet transfered through grpc.

[@amitkumargouda1768]

Great content

[@fortuner1122]

Excellent

[@sampathmethuku7428]

Does any one know software author is using to create these clear presentations

[@manoelramon8283]

Just one comment.. if the data structure on the protobuf is small like a integer or boolean data type, the protobuff is big comparing if we would pass the value as REST .

[@adityadev7780]

Can one microservice implement REST based communication with it's upstream microservice like the front end client browser and have grpc communication with it's downstream microservice at the same time? Thanks.

[@vishalmishra3046]

In a data-center setting, gRPC can deliver immense performance improvements by running over *HTTP3* (QUIC = TLSv1.3 over UDP) due to no head of line blocking and multiple parallel streams over the same (UDP not TCP) connection. No wonder Google services seem so performant when accessed using Chrome browser.

[@sandworm9528]

Do you really want your RPC calls going over UDP though? Wouldn't you have to either make everything idempotent or implement your own out-of-order checks

[@hungquangphan]

Damn, exactly what I need right now. Great work!

[@nqh-d3v]

I don't know I can understand clearly about your context, you said "One reason is that gRPC relies on lower-level access to HTTP/2 primitives. No browsers currently provide the level of control required over web requests to support a gRPC client", but when I check on any webstite (Chrome), I track networks tab, all of them are HTTP/2, a little HTTP/3. Or can you tell more about "which is lower-level access to HTTP/2 primitives". Thank you so much!

[@nikhilgoyal007]

super!!

[@m_murad]

nice video

[@ReflectionOcean]

Grpc communicates on http/2 transport layer

[@RedStone576]

next level animation

[@craumm]

Can you give some insights on authentication with gRPC?

[@marsovac]

Basically: don't use it unless you have to. And if you think you have to, you might be faster with custom TCP RPC.

[@pubdigitalix]

Brilliant. But Google don't like it. In the past Microsoft always mess up with well know technologies. Now is Google time.

[@andrewazarov2717]

What about validation? JSON-Scheme, for example, can has validation rules

[@angadrajsingh4311]

can you please order your videos order in playlist as video description number does not matches with sequence number in youtube list

[@MrKaush123]

why not go for mercury developed over libfabric? Better handling, more speed, works both on rdma and tcp

[@programminginterviewsprepa7710]

Ttoubleshooting jsons between servers is easy can i sniff the network for grpc how harder is grpc debugging wise than json?
