Type grpc

gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call) is a high-performance communication protocol developed by Google. It uses Protocol Buffers (protobuf) for data serialization and enables fast, secure communication between services — especially microservices.

When to use:

Use gRPC when your workflow needs to:

• Communicate between internal services or microservices efficiently.
• Handle real-time or high-volume data exchanges.
• Integrate with systems that already use .proto files for service definitions.
• Require streaming (sending or receiving continuous data).

Benefits:

• Much faster and more efficient than HTTP for internal communication.
• Supports bi-directional streaming.
• Strongly typed and uses contract-based definitions (via .proto files).
• Ideal for backend, cloud-native, or microservice-based workflows.
