Building gRPC Services in Go

Modern microservices require fast, efficient, and type-safe communication. Traditional REST APIs can introduce overhead, making gRPC and Protocol Buffers the preferred choice for high-performance Go applications. This text-based course guides you through the entire process of designing, implementing, and running gRPC services in Go. You will transition from understanding core remote procedure call concepts to writing clean, production-ready Go code for both servers and clients. What you will learn: - Understand the core principles of gRPC and how it compares to traditional HTTP APIs. - Define service contracts and data structures using Protocol Buffers syntax. - Generate Go code from proto files and organize your project structure. - Build robust gRPC servers and clients to handle synchronous unary requests. - Implement advanced streaming patterns for real-time data exchange. - Apply context deadlines, timeouts, and structured error handling to ensure service reliability. You will start with foundational definitions and network concepts before moving on to hands-on code walk-throughs. The course progresses logically from single request-response patterns to streaming APIs and production-ready error handling. This course is designed for Go developers who are new to microservices and gRPC, with no prior experience in network protocols required.
