## Overview

gRPC is a high-performance RPC framework built on HTTP/2 and Protocol Buffers: strongly-typed contracts, efficient binary serialization, and first-class streaming in every direction. It shines for service-to-service communication inside a backend, where its speed and codegen pay off. It's a poor fit for browsers and public third-party APIs. This skill covers designing protobuf contracts that evolve safely, using streaming well, and operating gRPC (deadlines, retries, load balancing) in production.

## When to use

- Building service-to-service APIs in a microservices architecture.
- Designing protobuf schemas and versioning strategy.
- Choosing between gRPC, REST, and message queues.
- Adding streaming (server, client, bidirectional) to a service.
- Debugging gRPC (grpcurl, interceptors, status codes).
- Configuring deadlines, retries, and load balancing.
- Exposing gRPC to browsers (grpc-web) or bridging to REST (grpc-gateway).
