Introduction

As a newcomer to gRPC (in Go) there are many resources setting out what gRPC is, where it originated from and how to create a basic service and client. After completing an introduction to gRPC and setting up a basic implementation I felt a bit lost as to where I need to go next.

gRPC consists of more than just sending binary blobs over HTTP/2. gRPC is also a set of libraries that will provide higher-level features consistently across platforms that other libraries typically do not. The purpose of this blog is to be a guideline for where to find the resources and leverage these libraries and features to make the most of the gRPC ecosystem after you understand the basics of gRPC.

Note:To minimise bloat this article assumes knowledge of gRPC and Protocol Buffers.
