Connect joins the CNCF: gRPC you can bet your business on
Connect RPC, Buf’s family of fully protocol-conformant and battle-tested alternatives to Google’s gRPC project, has joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. We joined the CNCF to demonstrate our deep commitment to sustainably and responsibly growing Connect as a well-governed and community-led open source project. Today, Connect integrates seamlessly with gRPC systems in production at companies of all sizes, such as CrowdStrike, PlanetScale, RedPanda, Chick-fil-A, BlueSky, and Dropbox.
Organizations that depend heavily on gRPC haven’t felt they’ve had a voice in where the project is headed and often find themselves blindsided by breaking changes. This means the Connect protocol and your application are supported everywhere the web is, including browsers, without additional overhead or intermediate latency-introducing proxy or transforms. We recently wrote an article that dives deep into how that suite works and provides a detailed overview of the conformance issues we’ve identified in Google gRPC and Connect RPC.
