Description

In recent years, the popularity of microservice architecture has surged, bringing forth a new set of requirements. Among these, efficient communication between the different services takes center stage, and that's where gRPC shines. This book will take you through creating gRPC servers and clients in an efficient, secure, and scalable way. However, communication is just one aspect of microservices, so this book goes beyond that to show you how to deploy your application on Kubernetes and configure other tools that are needed for making your application more resilient. With these tools at your disposal, you’ll be ready to get started with using gRPC in a microservice architecture. In gRPC Go for Professionals, you'll explore core concepts such as message transmission and the role of Protobuf in serialization and deserialization. Through a step-by-step implementation of a TODO list API, you’ll see the different features of gRPC in action. You’ll then learn different approaches for testing your services and debugging your API endpoints. Finally, you’ll get to grips with deploying the application services via Docker images and Kubernetes.

Who is this book for?

Whether you’re interested in microservices or looking to use gRPC in your product, this book is for you. To fully benefit from its contents, you’ll need a solid grasp of Go programming and using a terminal. If you’re already familiar with gRPC, this book will help you to explore the different concepts and tools in depth.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

The book's focus on advanced gRPC ideas like authentication and security is one of its finest features. These are essential considerations when working with distributed microservices, and the authors do a great job of demystifying these difficult subjects. The thorough grasp of effective microservice security and system integrity will be provided to readers.The book stands out for its practical approach, which enables users to put their information to use. It explores core concepts such as message transmission and the role of Protobuf in serialization and deserialization. A must read.

This book is intended for Go developers that want to leverage gRPC, Go’s implementation of the universal Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework. Both a network and Protobuf primer are provided at the start of the book to help ensure the reader is prepared for the content that follows. A brief introduction to gRPC is provided, covering server, client, REST, and GraphQL.The author provides sufficient detail to help you setup a project and design an API. Performance is aptly considered with the programming examples. Several gRPC features are covered to include error handling, class, load balancing, request validation, logging, tracing, and more. Advanced topics include unit and load testing, debugging, and deploying with Docker, Kubernetes, and Envoy Proxy.

Here's what I loved:1. Comprehensive and practical: The book doesn't shy away from core concepts. It delves deep into message transmission, the magic of Protobuf, and even advanced gRPC features like authentication and security. Yet, it never loses sight of practicality, offering step-by-step implementation through a API.2. Testing and deployment done right: Often neglected aspects of microservice development are given their due here. Jean meticulously explores unit and load testing techniques, ensuring your code stays rock-solid. He then takes you on a deployment journey, leveraging Docker and Kubernetes for seamless production-ready deployments.3. Beyond the code: While technical mastery is key, Jean recognizes the bigger picture. He offers valuable insights into designing and evolving gRPC services, avoiding common pitfalls, and writing secure and efficient code. This holistic approach prepares you for the real-world challenges of microservice development.This book is for you if:1. You're a Go developer eager to leverage gRPC for building microservices.2. You've dabbled in gRPC but crave a deeper understanding and practical guidance.3. You're building microservices and want to ensure their scalability, efficiency, and robustness.Overall, "gRPC Go for Professionals" is a masterclass in building production-grade microservices with gRPC and Go. It's a must-have for any developer serious about mastering this powerful technology.Bonus points:1. The book is well-written, engaging, and avoids jargon overload.2. The accompanying code examples are clear, concise, and readily applicable.3. Jean's passion for gRPC shines through, making the learning experience even more enjoyable.Highly recommended!

...and someone writes a book about it.Look - information down a wire does not, never has, and never will both a) be efficient and b) align exactly with the same information in language-aligned data structures. How you make the translations is tricky, and one should take a long hard look at the entire process before ever starting.Google engineers naturally ignored the process of thinking, and dove right in. They *did* manage to strip out all the human-readable-on-the-wire stupidity which characterizes both XML and JSON/YAML, opting for machine-readable alacrity.However, they got hamstrung by how that layout translates into Go data structures (all the while crowing about how gRPC [ and protobufs - which are a whole 'nother level of mis-engineered hell ] ) are language-agnostic. In this case, it simply means that gRPC is a small inadequate solution looking for a problem, which is equally inadequate in a lot of languages, with a lot of bags on the side to attempt to correct these deficiencies.In short, it's Sun ONC-RPC with XDR, with slight variations and a similar number of drawbacks and failures, but it's Google, so that must mean it's the Right Thing(TM).Oh, the book is reasonably good at describing gRPC, insofar as any of these books end up ever being any good at anything. If you absolutely *must* use gRPC, then I guess you might get some value from this book. Be sure the expense it though, don't pay for it out of your own pocket.
