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
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 :).
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
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
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!
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 !
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.
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!
Incredible content. The way you explain and walk through concepts (and especially with the coding session) is top notch. And your excitement is contagious!
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.
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)
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!
Clicked this video expecting some monotone broken english explaining this way too simply with a bad microphone. Reallly appreciate the candor in your speak, it keeps the brain focused and that you didn't needlesly drone on on metaphors. Subbed!
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
Some other downsides of gRPC and Protobuf to add to your list: gRPC weaknesses - Protobuf is not human-readable. This can make debugging and payload analysis more difficult than they would be with a human-readable format. - HTTP/2 still has some latency issues due to headers being used in each exchange. - Although apps can use the code libraries to access gRPC, web browsers don’t support it directly. This means you must use a proxy such as gRPC Web to support gRPC in browsers.
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.
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
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?
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
quite late but if someone can clarify, I couldn't understand when did he compiled the .proto file, is it not necessary? how does that code is working if he didn't compiled the .proto file. edit: is it because he used proto-loader??
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.
I would consider Schema as a Pros. In Rest API, if you don't care about documentation, then you literally lost after 1 year of continuous development. I know there is swagger but it is not stendar or native.
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.
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!
Thanks for your tutorial . Very nice , I think gRPC uses for cimmunication between micro services on your servers . For example you have on micro service for uploading or downloading's files. Other micro services for using upload or download files , Call grpc services for uploading or downloading . Am I right ?
Pourdad Daneshmand correct! That is one use case it can be used for any communication between microservices uploading and downloading files is attractive because of the compression and binary format you get with gRPC.
Can you watch the NDC conf GraphQL, gRPC or REST video and explain how gRPC (a protocol) would be in a discussion in comparison to Rest or GraphQL? Shouldn't gRPC be more compared to HTTP1 or even HTTP2 alone? What difference does it make to compare to REST or GraphQL endpoints?
headjobs I can see gRPC being compared to REST and eventually graphQL because it addresses a problem those two (architectures?) have. Client libraries. Specially HTTP client libraries in case of REST. gRPC uses HTTP/2 a vehicle but it doesn’t matter what protocol it uses. It “hides” the complexity for us users to deal with client libraries. So theoretically if we were using gRPC. The protocol can upgrade to use HTTP/3 with QUIC and we will not have to touch a single line of code in our application. And all of a sudden we take advantage of the new transport protocol ! REST and GraphQL is built on HTTP (I think graphQL might be less sticky) but yeah with sticky protocols the client is “aware” of the transport protocol and the application is stuck with it. Changing the protocol is extremely hard. Thats why we are still struggling to upgrade to HTTP/2 from HTTP/1 .. millions of applications built (C#; C, VB, Python,) are still using HTTP1.1 client libraries.
Your explanation is simple and amazing. I like your energy, bro. If I may ask, is it possible to provide C++ codes for your coding example 19:49? I have Zero knowledge of javascript and I am quite new to this field(gRPC) 😅
What is the problem with OpenAPI codegen tools auto-generating client and server? Is the open source codegen libraries are not reliable? Google released Angular 1 and then the next version did not provide backward compatibility and now it is has reached end of life. Only thing with gPRC I see is the compression performance. Otherwise, it is just like Google competing with Facebook's GraphQL.
I wish not everything was so zoomed in and we would have had more than 6 lines fit in he tutorial space. You can at the very least close the terminal when it's not in use.
Hey Hussein Nasser, great video! You are awesome! :) It would be great if you make a video about GRPC load balancing and how HTTP/2 long-lived TCP connection seems to be the problem. I know that you love proxies and I think this video will be very helpful. :) Keep the great work.
Thanks Boris! Yes its tough to load balance stateful protocols like gRPC This is one I talked about http/2 load balancing ruclips.net/video/0avOYByiTRQ/видео.html
@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 ?
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 :)
Great video. I have a doubt. I think, Generally microservices are deployed on different servers. In that case how do we have a shared proto? otherwise we end up writing proto on both services which will be duplicate and maintaining will be hard.
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?

True!! a lot of things changed but it is still a incredible content!!
Love the way you tell and teach your videos are really informative thanks 👍
thanks for the explanation, can't wait for your new videos!
btw for next video, you should try microservices with grpc
Thanks for the video, it's informative, love your video
Hùng Phạm thanks glad you find it beneficial 🙏
if you would speak at a constant volume I would very much appreciate it
otherwise thanks for posting!
From rpc to rmi and back to rpc :)
Hey Hussien awesome content, thanks a lot! Is grpc stateless or stateful?
Thanks a ton, please continue making such videos.
Hi Hussein, great video! Just 1 small thing: this line "if (!response.items)" at 55:46 should be "if (response.items)", right?
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!!
Hi @Hussein can i save the Call in Redis and used it again to send data , for Example Chat message
you left out the awesomness of CORBA 🙃
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.
Thank you Hussein.
A quick question: How can I manage GRPC in a micro-service environment where each service has a least 2 instances?
I enjoyed each of your words..
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
You have excellent eloquence and you understand what people think about ( ^__^ he reminds me in JOKER )
Any thoughts on updating this video now that we have gRPC-web?
quite late but if someone can clarify, I couldn't understand when did he compiled the .proto file, is it not necessary? how does that code is working if he didn't compiled the .proto file.
edit: is it because he used proto-loader??
protoLoader wasnt picking up the path to the .proto file for me, till I switched to using nodejs "path" module
This happens sometimes if your proto file is in a sub folder. Thanks for mentioning that hopefully it helps others who ran into the same problem
Please do not mind but the audio gets quite irritating because of the sudden high-pitched voice. Great content, Thanks.
Where does this madness end?
There is no madness. There is only what you need and you have to master how to know what you need.

I have a doubt.
I think, Generally microservices are deployed on different servers. In that case how do we have a shared proto? otherwise we end up writing proto on both services which will be duplicate and maintaining will be hard.
1. add a ci/cd pipeline step that adds the updated proto 2. use same repo two diff init commands for both server and client
@Hussein I share the sentiment of confusing grpc example from the grpc examples.
You are great. Thank you!
