Getting started with gRPC article series

Getting started with gRPC article, by Francesco Marchioni

I have recently added a two-article series about the gRPC framework which allows connecting services across data centers using high-performance Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). In this article, you will learn the building blocks of this framework and how to code a Java application using gRPC. In the follow up article, gRPC made easy with Quarkus you can learn how Quarkus simplifies the creation and test of gRPC applications using quarkus-grpc extension.

That’s all folks! Please join us again in two weeks for another round of our JBoss editorial!
