gRPC: The Bad Parts
gRPC isn't perfect but who is?
While chunking is a reasonable solution for handling large files, the absence of a standardized approach within gRPC might lead to inconsistent implementations and increased development effort. It completely replaces protoc but also adds linting, breaking change detection, curl for gRPC, integration with the Buf Schema Registry (wow, real dependency management!) By addressing its learning curve, compatibility issues, lack of standardization, and community engagement, we can unlock gRPC’s full potential and make it a more accessible and user-friendly tool for all developers.
