The document discusses gRPC vs REST for building microservices. It begins with introductions from two software engineers and then delves into explanations of what gRPC and REST are, including how gRPC uses protocol buffers to define service interfaces, generates client/server code, and supports multiple languages. It also covers how gRPC performs remote calls more efficiently than REST and is better suited than REST for microservices that require features like service discovery, load balancing, and fault tolerance.
