Original: gRPC Internals and Performance

Short summary

This article explains gRPC internals, covering how Protocol Buffers provide compact binary serialization and how HTTP/2 enables multiplexing, header compression, and binary framing for efficient service-to-service communication. It walks through .proto file definitions, code generation with protoc, and the request/response lifecycle from client stub to server implementation. A Go server example demonstrates practical implementation of a Greeter service.

  • gRPC uses Protocol Buffers for compact, schema-driven binary serialization instead of JSON/XML
  • HTTP/2 multiplexing and HPACK header compression reduce latency vs traditional REST over HTTP/1.1
  • protoc generates language-specific client stubs and server interfaces from .proto definitions

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
