I am getting frustrated by the number of people calling any
HTTP-based interface a REST API.

RESTful API
GET /user/15

“name”: “John Doe”,
“email”:“john.doe@gmail.com”,

non-RESTful API
GET /last_search?page=2

What is gRPC?
@aiborisov
@mykyta_p
What is gRPC?
A high performance, general purpose, feature-rich
RPC framework.
Part of Cloud Native Computing Foundation cncf.io
HTTP/2 and mobile first.
Open sourced version of Stubby RPC used in Google.
@aiborisov
@mykyta_p
g in gRPC stands for
1.0 'gRPC'
1.1 'good'
1.2 'green'
1.3 'gentle'
. . .
1.9 'glossy'
1.10 'glamorous'
1.11 'gorgeous'
1.12 'glorious'

A distributed system is one in which the failure of a
computer you didn't even know existed can render your own
computer unusable.
