gRPC Usage Example

A simple client-server architecture showing how gRPC works.

Contains:

• A Server, implemented in Go
• A Client, implemented in Python

Running

In order to simplify the execution, a convenient Makefile is provided.

That said, Docker and make is all you need to run both server and client.

Server

Run server first by opening a bash console and executing make run-server.

The command will download Go image, get the dependencies, build the application and run it.

Client

Open a bash console and execute make run-client.

The command will download Python 3 image, get dependencies and run the application.

Protobuf compilation

If you want to apply changes you will have to recompile the .proto file.

You will need:

• Protocol Buffers
• Go support for Protocol Buffers

Execution:

Open a bash console and execute make proto-generation.

This command will generate both Go and Python code in the right place.
