A step-by-step guide based on a social media app
When building APIs using gRPC, the API design is commonly built using protocol buffers to define API endpoints, request messages, and response messages. This is typically accomplished using proto files that can later be used to generate the golang code to make actual RPC calls and also to generate a reverse proxy to translate gRPC into JSON APIs, etc.
In this article, you can learn about the following:
- building API designs using protocol buffers
- creating endpoints
- defining request messages
- defining response messages
- using enumerable
- handling timestamps
- returning empty responses
