Just completed 4th chapter of Designing Data-Intensive Application (Martin Kleppmann) and this video gets recommended ! Nice Video

[@devkantthefullstackguy]

It's glad to see that someone at least is doing real Engineering at the end of the day. Baki tho influencer influencer game or content creation mai busy hai. No offence to others, but samajh lo yaar, kiya bolna cha Raha hun

Protobuf is definately efficient but JSON is simple. Both are equally important for different use cases. In most of the cases JSON is always a good idea and where we need efficiency, protobuf is better. Its like dynamically typed languages vs statically typed.

[@stanlyjsamuel]

Thank you! Very well explained in a crystal clear manner with concrete examples, not hand wavy!

[@sushantpradhan5216]

Thanks for the very informative video. I have seen google protobuf being used in the application i am working on but wasn't aware of the so many reasons behind using it. Worth the watch thanks ☺️

[@javi2082]

Bro, next video when? I am loving these series. Please make more videos(whenever you get time).

[@afaquejaya2524]

Thank you for making such valuable compression. 🥂

[@juhairahamed5342]

Good Explanation bro

[@harshbharvada4099]

Protobufs + RPCs ❤️

[@vengateshm2122]

Well presented. Thank you. Learnt something new.

[@nisheksharma7878]

I am kinda remembering manchester encoding and all😊

[@aniketpagar2229]

Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@rushikeshgodase4150]

Please upload more videos related to protobuf,gRPC.

[@adityakulkarni2472]

Thank you Rachit bhaiya 🤝💯

[@phoneix24886]

Nice explanation Rachit. Thanks.

[@jatindersinghaujla]

Great video, It's informative. I have one question How you comes to know all about this any resources you can share?

[@ujwalsmanhas1093]

disadvantage with protobuf is that client should know how to deserialize/unmarshall the data whereas in case of json it is key/value format

[@RachitJain]

Yes they need a proto based generated schema to make sense of what this data is.

[@ujwalsmanhas1093]

@@RachitJainso it seems REST+JSON is better for web services/api and proto buf seems to be better suited for message passing apps.

[@RachitJain]

@@ujwalsmanhas1093 yes if you are talking in terms of scalability. Otherwise use JSON for simplicity if you aren’t going too big.

[@TheCosmique11]

If you want a client to confirm to a schema and work across different programming languages , grpc is very good. Also you don't have to do API versioning as it's backward compatible. That means all consumers need not update at the same time.

[@ujwalsmanhas1093]

@@TheCosmique11 OK. Nice information.👍👍

[@shahkushal1495]

I don't care about performance, but I care about the amount of validations I have to write for JSON. I just don't need it with protobuf. Saves code, forces services follow a specific interface

[@kumarashutosh229]

I guess that is the reason why grpc is way more faster than rest call

[@meditationdanny701]

Does serialization techinques such as protocol buffers is being used along REST based API mostly I have seen protocol buffers being used most with RPC based framework such Grpc

[@akicr7]

Which app are you using for note taking?

[@dkq986]

Yeah!! protobuff all the way..

[@crimsoncad3230]

For anyone who has watched the series "Silicon Valley" this concept will look similar to their product of Middle Out Compression.

[@RachitJain]

Interesting, I will binge-watch it when I get some free time. Oh yeah, right...

[@cripz4203]

9:00 what was that shortcut for removing new line characters?

[@RachitJain]

I just used multi cursor feature of VS Code to select the whitespaces I wanted to remove :)

[@kakhan2086]

Amazeeeeed...... 😀

[@g2agrawal165]

does length bit for strings always has 1 Byte(8 bit) than max size of string can be 2^8 = 256 ?

[@_thehunter_]

what is the perf difference between json and proto.. how does it compares to SIMD json lib??? IMO proto will be good if the protocol is very very very well defined and its not advisable to directly jump to proto.. first go with json and eventually replace it with json only if json is bottleneck

[@rushikeshgodase4150]

I'm working in Java project where we are using gRPC.

[@PallaviJadon-y3c]

Do you have any notes for system design?

[@kambalavijay6800]

How is byte sequence retrived?

[@mdesnica]

So now we are soon back to "EDIFACT", format, where XML at least was somewhat more readable, and JSON very readable. 30 years of progress back to zero.😀

[@dasstraat]

Network load is not a crucial factor anymore. There is however no decent standardized way to convert C++ to JSON. For grpc there is a convertor for this, although the files are ridigoulous comp[licated to read.

[@aditigupta6870]

Why 1a and 0a? No explanation of that..

[@abhishekvishwakarma9045]

(encoding, setting the field tag as 0,1,2) while performing A/B testing through google optimise in Next js, we can create different variants for a particular experience in optimise dashboard and in response (through window.google_optimise.get(''") -> I know it's not a JSON response😅) we get variants in the form of tags (0,1,2 -> all strings) not 100% sure whether the same concept of encoding is applied here, btw insightful content💡🚀
