gRPC Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fast two/uni and request
- Unform
- One library to rule them all
- Progress feedback( long synchronous requests) drop pluggable wait...)
- cancel request
- All benefits of H2 and Protobuff
Cons
- schema based (not everyone wants schema)
- Thick client - limited languages - Proxies still don’t understand it
- Still young
- Error handling
- No native browser support
- Timeouts, circuit breaker just like any RPC (pub/sub rules in this case)
Can you create your own protocol?

This channel is gold
I really like you giving the "Why" question at the start when always explaining something. Whenever I have the very "Why" question, I look for the answer in your channel. Thanks very much for your dedication
I turn my ad-blocker off when watching your videos:) Thank you for all the useful videos!
Hahaha, that's awesome lol, gonna do the same!!
Lmao
Is that suppose to be a "thank you"? Heheh -:)

Making a crash course is already a very tedious process. But you make everything so simple. "Simple ain't easy". Being an Android dev I like to watch your videos. Thank You
Your youtube channel is a Gold mine for someone who wants to explore the backend world. Every time I start to learn something new, I first check whether you have already explained it or not. Thank you so much for uploading such High-Quality content for free. Will look forward to amazing content in the near future also :).
Incredible content. The way you explain and walk through concepts (and especially with the coding session) is top notch. And your excitement is contagious!
Loved the introduction, straight to the point, no nonsense like saying "Hi guysssss, welcome back to another episode of... here in this..." omg thanks. Also no annoying music and a slowed-down voice when throwing information away, to not overload the receiver. Pure gold!
Learn the fundamentals of the backend, scaling and load balancing with my Introduction to NGINX udemy course nginx.husseinnasser.com
I will always remember "today, the 4th of December 2023" when I discovered your channel. Amazing Amazing teaching style and content. Despite the humour and jokes, the content is seriously well thought out and structured !
I've been at this life for 20 years now (33atm), hands down the best introduction i've had to a new (to me) tool/underlying-protocol. Starting now I will always check your channel first when adopting new tech. Thank You
Very informative and clear introduction of gRPC! I'm a devOps guy, understanding gRPC basics will help me build efficient infrastructures to support the microservices. This is a very good introduction for me to dive into gRPC.
Awesome content. Thanks for this. You teach, as if you are talking to a friend. :)
crazy way you talk keeps my attention . love it 🙏
You make so many topics easy to understand and the videos are quite entertaining.
Thanks for making my life easy Hussein!
Thank u Hussein Nasser to make this complicated thing real easy .... saved a lot of time
Excellent. You are a born teacher. Enjoyed it a lot. Keep them coming.
Love the way you tell and teach your videos are really informative thanks 👍
awesome bro, i was breaking my head trying to understand this, thanks for your service to mankind by uploading this video and the simple clear concise means of communication is solid gold.
Such content much respect. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful knowledge with us.
❤️❤️
This channel is awesome, what a gem.
best video explanation for gRPC so far ! excellent job @Hussein Nasser
Awesome hour of information.
Hussein, absolutely love your video! Had fun and learnt stuff. Thanks!
really like the way you make it, Focus in why we need this, most people don't care about the reason, but i think this is the most importance thing
Thank you bro
hehe just as crazy as i am , behind every single word i can feel the SUPER PROFESSIONALISM
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Keep it UP and never forget the GOLDEN RULE
Thanks a ton, please continue making such videos.
The best video I've watched on the subject soo far
True!! a lot of things changed but it is still a incredible content!!
Very clear explanations. Use of simple, understandable language also appreciated. Also, happy and excited manner keeps my attention. Genuinely didn't realise this video was over an hour long, flew by.
Also, really liked how you zoomed in on the code. Really good feature. I was following along with this video only on half on my screen, so didn't need to strain my eyes. Thank you!
Thanks Joey🙏
most awaiting one
Can I subscribe for a second time, just to say thank you for your good work? Kudos Hussein Nasser
Thank you very much Hussein. God bless you.
Thanks for the video, it's informative, love your video
Hùng Phạm thanks glad you find it beneficial 🙏
Thanks so much for this video tutorial.
This channel is the definition of "goldmine"
very helpful explanation and I really liked your example code. Subscribed! 👍
Appreciate it thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed the content
you are a GOD!
that you so much for the content, this is life saving!!
Super cool video. Enjoyed it a lot! On the topic of browsers lack of gRPC - I would speculate that the main idea is to use gRPC in browsers via web assemlies.
too much rubbish talk
Great video helped a lot.. Thank you :)
Glad it helped Arjun! Thank you
This reminds me of libp2p: A library for peer-to-peer communication that implements all known open source protocols (Bluetooth, WebRTC, TCP, UDP etc) so all you have to do is use the libp2p api as an abstraction layer on top of the implementations. You can even plug in your own custom protocol and extend libp2p's capabilities. Can you do that with gRPC?
I'm looking forward to that ssl authentication video with grpc. This was also a great tutorial thanks.
M H yikes I forgot about that thanks for reminding me I need to do that one
@@hnasr I'll sub to get an update when its done :D
Hi 😃 Waiting so badly for this one. When shall this vid come out ?
Beautiful video man.
You are great. Thank you!
I enjoyed each of your words..
Good thing they open-sourced it. People interested in writing libraries can contribute to the gRPC code-base instead of writing their own library from scratch!
you are amazing teacher bro make more videos please i love ur content
Hey Hussien awesome content, thanks a lot! Is grpc stateless or stateful?
Awesome explanation!!
Hi Hussein,
New viewer here, protobuf and grpc brought here, awesome explanation and like way you explain. Giving as much as someone can in a light mood. Awesome. Love your content.
One request, can you explain with example WebRTC?
Thanks,
Ratnadeep
Thanks Ratnadeep for your wonderful message and welcome to the channel 😊 WebRTC has been requested alot and it is on my list. It is a very complex topic since it has so much low level networking that the audience must understand. So its gonna take me a while but its coming :) thanks again
Thanks for the video. !!!
Thanks for the video!
What do you think about developing gRPC service between using Node.JS and Golang? I've seen a lot of job posts with gRPC also mentions Go instead of Node.JS. Does Golang have a better tooling or there are something else that makes using Golang with gRPC is a better choice?
I don't have a favorite to be honest it really depends on your use cases for the language of choice but the goal of gRPC is so that the language you use to build your backend doesn't matter.
Simply awesome !!!
Great explanation. Subscribed
Thanks Simon! Welcome to the community and enjoy the content 😊
As someone who builds SaaS at scale, I appreciate your take on industry nonsense and reasoning
Hello Hussein, what is that extension you use to see the nested object when you hovered over the "call" input to see what was sent from the server. The object called ServerUnaryCall. Thanks a lot!
Hi @Hussein can i save the Call in Redis and used it again to send data , for Example Chat message
I love your videos ❤
Hi Hussein, great video! Just 1 small thing: this line "if (!response.items)" at 55:46 should be "if (response.items)", right?
Thanks man. its a great tutorial.
Glad it helped!
Thank you Hussein.
A quick question: How can I manage GRPC in a micro-service environment where each service has a least 2 instances?
Watched thanks
Todo take notes
It seems that the single biggest advantage is that it abstracts away the underlying protocol like http2, and uses protobuff binary format
Has support for server streaming (client makes a call and registers a callback on that call. The server then keeps streaming back objects and that triggers the client callback to handle the object stream)
wow man, this is awesome
"Take the whole array and shove it down the client's throat" 😂😂
I wish I could like the video twice
thanks for the explanation, can't wait for your new videos!
btw for next video, you should try microservices with grpc
This is Gold , thank you for your wonderful guide~~! +1Sub
Great video
Awesome content!
thank you a lot ❣️
From rpc to rmi and back to rpc :)
Hi Hussein, u r doing great job
Do we need her to run proto file as u did in protobuf tutorial?
I ran in problem that my req are getting in server, request is empty object.
How to solve this?
Do you have a tutorial for this in PHP Laravel? Btw great crash course . I learned more about gRPC because you presented it with a clear explanation.
Awesome!
We should have "like levels"! This would be a huge like :-D
Great video thanks
Great talk!
great share! thank you.
you left out the awesomness of CORBA 🙃
Thanks for your great tutorials.
I have a question and would be so grateful, if you can help.
Is there anyway to decode binary data of body of a gRPC request without have the proto?
I am capturing the requests made by an application using gRPC service. I cannot repeat the requests just like the app as the body of HTTP requests are in binary and I cannot understand and decode it.
It would be great if you make a video on it.
Thanks
earned my subscription kudos
you made this possible for me
if you would speak at a constant volume I would very much appreciate it
otherwise thanks for posting!
@Hussein Nasser, great explanation ! My question to you is: What would you use to build a web app similar to Zoom in functionality, but more performant and flexible. WebSocket vs webRTC vs gRPC ?
To support video/audio and I get to pick between the three I would pick webRTC for audio/video and with websockets as metadata
@@hnasr Thank you for the prompt reply.
You have excellent eloquence and you understand what people think about ( ^__^ he reminds me in JOKER )
Super video! I applauded for ₹40.00 👏
Great content
Great Content 👏👏
Great...... @Hussein Nasser, thanks for such a great video again..... one question how we can maximum number of concurrent streams in the server
Hey Rizwan there is a MaxConcurrentStreams option which will increase the number of streams in H2. But I seeing online people run into problems when they mess with that
Great video, helped a lot. I have a question though, how would I be able to access the outputs from my grpc services from my main program, since the callback isn't aware of my local variables and vice versa. Say I wanted to store a todo response as the client, to be used later down the line instead of printing it in the callback, how would I do that?
Hervé SV if you are planning to not use the response immediately you can store it on memory or on disk and retrieve it when you need it.
Declare a global array in memory and push results in it. Or use sqlite
@@hnasr Wow, thanks for the quick reply! However, when I use a global variable to store the response, it always comes out as undefined whenever I try and access it outside of the callback function. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks so much for valuable contents they are wonderful. would you please also upload a video regards to using secure channel in c++/python?
Hi, I love the content on your channel. I did not understand why you didn't use a protobuf compiled file and used a json directly. Is that how it's supposed to be done or do we need to use _pb.js to improve the performance??
grpc compiles it so you don't need to do it manually
does this library platform independent or work on the baremetal platform ( environment without OS /kernal)
Thank you so much Hussein. I have one doubt though sorry if that is very basic, i am new to this grpc concepts. Recently i bought a VPS server where i hosted my two wordpress sites. I created some REST API calls through plugins from one site to another using PHP. When i do request a REST call, the network tab under chrome shows h2 as protocol. So REST API works with http/2? or am i missing something?
That means your PHP backend and your frontend support HTTP/2 . Which is a good thing
REST API works with any underlying HTTP protocol its transparent.
Why does client.readTodosStream(); print always the previous added TodoItem? Is it because the client is too fast?
So if I also want to print my newly created TodoItem to be included with readTodosStream() what are the possible solutions to this?
Starting to learn gRPC :)
You r awesome!
top notch
Any thoughts on updating this video now that we have gRPC-web?
Hi, can you make a video with spring boot gradle grpc microservice and talk with Smartphone app(client as rest api)
Super video! I applauded for €2.00 👏
🙏🙏
شغل عالي
شكرا عزيزي
Hi Hussein, Thanks for the awesome video. I am new to gRPC, it is said in the video that the reason gRPC is invented is because there is only one library for all, but then I think every language have their own gRPC library too? so it is no better than REST in this case?
Please correct me if I am wrong. Just confused about it.
Thank you
I am also new to gRPC. But aren't the libraries in other languages lightweight libs as gRPC is the one that handles all the heavylifting? Hopefully it helps.
Nice presentation... as always ... but the cons could be constructive... for instance forcing a schema establishes a protocol across architectures, projects, organisations and so on. And once it is established test automation would be easier and solid
