gRPC
Software Development and Engineering Practices
gRPC is an open-source remote procedure call (RPC) framework originally developed by Google, used by software engineers to enable efficient communication between services in distributed systems and microservices architectures. It uses Protocol Buffers for serialization and HTTP/2 for transport, enabling fast, strongly-typed, cross-language API calls. It's widely used in backend and cloud infrastructure development where performance and multi-language support matter.
