Remote Procedure Call, gRPC, Protocol Buffers

Let me say to be honest "I had no idea of the impact of RPC in Distributed Systems" until I watched the UW session on Distributed Systems on Youtube. I asked myself, why is it that that RPC is a module in itself. Why every other place it is dedicated lecture. I couldn't understand it before.

But now that I understand that it is a foundation for creating a truly distributed system, I want to bring in the resources which I felt are important to learn this topic.

What benefits do you get from using Protocol Buffers over other contemporary techniques? Specially when it comes to System Design and Architecture, what leverage do I get here that I cannot find elsewhere?


First, let's learn about Why RPC?

I actually liked the tutorial because it was more hands on and the others I posted before.

Here's one article that I think could handy as well : https://medium.com/@karuppiah7890/how-i-started-learning-grpc-and-made-a-grpc-client-in-nodejs-and-grpc-server-in-golang-cc7e3901ed54
