gRPC Development
Efficient service-to-service calls where payload size and latency matter.
gRPC is built for machines talking to machines. Contracts are defined in protocol buffers and compiled into typed clients, payloads are binary rather than text, and streaming in both directions is part of the protocol rather than bolted on.
The cost is human: you cannot read a gRPC call in a browser, curl it casually, or hand it to a partner who wants to integrate this afternoon.
Why we use it
We use gRPC for internal service-to-service traffic where volume and latency are real constraints, and where both ends are ours — the generated clients remove an entire category of integration bug, because the contract is compiled rather than agreed in a document.
For anything a third party consumes, we use REST. The debuggability of plain HTTP is worth more than the bytes gRPC saves, and a partner who cannot inspect a call in their browser will take three times as long to integrate.
