gRPC Microservices in Go (MEAP V06)

gRPC is a high-performance messaging protocol that’s extraordinarily well-suited for microservices applications. Learn how to build fast and secure gRPC-based microservices using the powerful Go programming language.

In gRPC Microservices in Go you’ll learn

Designing and implementing 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 utilize these powerful tools to build production-grade microservices. You’ll learn to develop microservice inter-service communication patterns that are powered by gRPC, design backward compatible APIs, and apply hexagonal architecture to microservices.

about the technology
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.

about the book
In gRPC Microservices in Go you’ll learn the right way to design and build production-grade microservices implementations using Go and gRPC. Learn best practices for designing APIs, implementing cloud native microservices, and even how to run your development process with DevOps culture. Chapter-by-chapter, you’ll set up the microservices architecture for a complete eCommerce web application. Use-case diagrams and illustrations help you understand how microservices architectures are properly constructed, and demystify the theory behind the practical techniques.
