gRPC Microservices in Go

Learn how to build fast and secure gRPC-based microservices using the powerful Go programming language.

Ideal for software developers who know the basics of Go.

gRPC Microservices in Go shows you howto combine the powerful gRPC Remote Procedure Call framework with Golang's low-level efficiency and flexibility. You will learn how to develop microservice inter-service communication patterns powered by gRPC, design backwards compatible APIs, and apply hexagonal architecture to microservices.

Key features:

• Designing and implementing a resilient microservice architecture
• Testing microservices
• Deploying microservices to the cloud with modern orchestration tools
• Monitoring and overseeing microservices

The powerful gRPC Remote Procedure Call framework delivers superior speed and security over protocols like REST. When paired with Golang's low-level efficiency and flexibility, gRPC and Go become a killer combination for latency-sensitive microservices applications. gRPC Microservices in Go shows you how to utilise these powerful tools to build production-grade microservices.

About the technology

Initially developed by Google, gRPC is a high-performance messaging protocol that is extraordinarily well-suited for microservices applications. This open-source 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 helps 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.
