About the episode

Welcome to this episode on gRPC with Golang! In this video, we’ll walk you through building scalable microservices using gRPC, a high-performance RPC framework. You'll learn to create both a server and a client in Go, using Protocol Buffers for message serialization and HTTP/2 for efficient communication.

What you'll learn:
- Why gRPC is faster and more efficient than REST
- How to install and set up gRPC and Protobuf in Go
- Defining proto files for message and service definitions
- Generating Go code from Protocol Buffers
- Implementing CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
- Setting up a gRPC server and connecting a client
- Running and testing your gRPC API

Whether you're building microservices or efficient APIs, gRPC is a powerful tool for your Go projects. Make sure to follow along as we implement everything step by step!

📚 Topics covered:  
1. Setting up gRPC and Protocol Buffers  
2. Defining and compiling proto files  
3. Implementing gRPC server in Go  
4. Creating and testing a client for gRPC
