Build super fast and super secure microservices with the gRPC high-performance messaging protocol and powerful Go language. Go is perfect for writing fast, reliable microservices code, but that’s only half the story. You also need a communications framework like gRPC to connect your services and handle load balancing, tracing, health checking, and authentication. Together, Go and gRPC accelerate the development process and eliminate many of the challenges you face when building and deploying microservices. Initially developed by Google, the open-source gRPC framework helps you elegantly and reliably deliver messages securely within a microservices architecture. Its seamless integration with infrastructure for load balancing, tracing, fault tolerance, and security help you effortlessly solve many of the common challenges of microservices. gRPC’s server and client stubs let your project call remote service methods and define the business logic behind them. Combined with Go’s fast compilation and execution speed, it’s the perfect solution for building large-scale microservices architectures. For software developers who know the basics of Go.
