In this crash course, we'll cover everything you need to know about gRPC and integrating it with your Go applications.

Each of the sub-articles below are written in a way that they are independent from one another, so if you're interested in only going through a specific part of the course, feel free to do so.

The only article which is mandatory is the Introduction, which covers what kind of application you'll be building as well as what kind of software you need to install/configure to avoid any technical issues throughout the course.

If you encounter any issues or bugs in the article/code, feel free to open an issue in the Github repo for this course.

If you enjoy the course & want to support me I'd be more than grateful if you ⭐ the repo, share the series, say thanks on Twitter or sponsor my work 🙏

In this part of the course, you will implement the most challenging RPC routine type which gRPC has to offer - bidirectional streams.

These routines are used to achieve bidirectional client-server communication - meaning that communication can flow both ways. A way to achieve this using traditional HTTP technologies is via web sockets. With gRPC, you have support for such communication natively.

In this part of the course, you will implement slightly more challenging RPC routines which involve utilising the gRPC streaming capabilities.

These are essentially a way to achieve client-side or server-side pagination. However, in contrast to normal HTTP APIs, in gRPC these streaming utilities are first-class citizens rather than a useful add-on (e.g. via web sockets).

There is also support for bidirectional streams, which we will explore in the follow-up exercise. In this one, we’ll focus on unidirectional (client-side/server-side) streaming RPCs.

In this part of the course, you will start implementing the gRPC servers/clients we setup in the previous exercise.

We will focus on implementing the more basic request-response-type RPCs. In the next exercises, we will look into the more complex stream-based RPCs.

In this article, you will create a gRPC/Protobuf schema for a small micro service system for an online casino. 

The scope of the article is to: 

• Create the service schemas
• Correctly generate the protobuf Go sources
• Implement the gRPC servers/clients for the appropriate microservices
• Integrate the microservices with each other
