gRPC Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fast two/uni and request
- Unform
- One library to rule them all
- Progress feedback( long synchronous requests) drop pluggable wait...)
- cancel request
- All benefits of H2 and Protobuff
Cons
- schema based (not everyone wants schema)
- Thick client - limited languages - Proxies still don’t understand it
- Still young
- Error handling
- No native browser support
- Timeouts, circuit breaker just like any RPC (pub/sub rules in this case)
Can you create your own protocol?

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
"it's like a first date, take it slow, take it slow guys" 😂
This channel is gold
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!
Incredible content. The way you explain and walk through concepts (and especially with the coding session) is top notch. And your excitement is contagious!
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
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.
I turn my ad-blocker off when watching your videos:) Thank you for all the useful videos!
Hahaha, that's awesome lol, gonna do the same!!
Lmao
Is that suppose to be a "thank you"? Heheh -:)

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 !
Awesome content. Thanks for this. You teach, as if you are talking to a friend. :)
You make so many topics easy to understand and the videos are quite entertaining.
Thanks for making my life easy Hussein!
crazy way you talk keeps my attention . love it 🙏
Excellent. You are a born teacher. Enjoyed it a lot. Keep them coming.
Love the way you tell and teach your videos are really informative thanks 👍
best video explanation for gRPC so far ! excellent job @Hussein Nasser
Such content much respect. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful knowledge with us.
❤️❤️
Hussein, absolutely love your video! Had fun and learnt stuff. Thanks!
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.
This channel is awesome, what a gem.
Thank u Hussein Nasser to make this complicated thing real easy .... saved a lot of time
really like the way you make it, Focus in why we need this, most people don't care about the reason, but i think this is the most importance thing
Thanks a ton, please continue making such videos.
Awesome hour of information.
Hi @Hussein can i save the Call in Redis and used it again to send data , for Example Chat message
most awaiting one
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!
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?
The best video I've watched on the subject soo far
True!! a lot of things changed but it is still a incredible content!!
Thanks so much for this video tutorial.
Thank you very much Hussein. God bless you.
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!
Thanks Joey🙏
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?
Thanks for the video, it's informative, love your video
Hùng Phạm thanks glad you find it beneficial 🙏
very helpful explanation and I really liked your example code. Subscribed! 👍
Appreciate it thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed the content
Thanks for your great tutorials.
I have a question and would be so grateful, if you can help.
Is there anyway to decode binary data of body of a gRPC request without have the proto?
I am capturing the requests made by an application using gRPC service. I cannot repeat the requests just like the app as the body of HTTP requests are in binary and I cannot understand and decode it.
It would be great if you make a video on it.
Thanks
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.
too much rubbish talk
Thank you Hussein.
A quick question: How can I manage GRPC in a micro-service environment where each service has a least 2 instances?
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
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 helped a lot.. Thank you :)
Glad it helped Arjun! Thank you
does this library platform independent or work on the baremetal platform ( environment without OS /kernal)
you are a GOD!
that you so much for the content, this is life saving!!
This channel is the definition of "goldmine"
Is it possible for the insecure client to connect to a secured server ?
Simply awesome !!!
Any thoughts on updating this video now that we have gRPC-web?
I'm looking forward to that ssl authentication video with grpc. This was also a great tutorial thanks.
M H yikes I forgot about that thanks for reminding me I need to do that one
@@hnasr I'll sub to get an update when its done :D
Hi 😃 Waiting so badly for this one. When shall this vid come out ?
You are great. Thank you!
I enjoyed each of your words..
Thank you so much Hussein. I have one doubt though sorry if that is very basic, i am new to this grpc concepts. Recently i bought a VPS server where i hosted my two wordpress sites. I created some REST API calls through plugins from one site to another using PHP. When i do request a REST call, the network tab under chrome shows h2 as protocol. So REST API works with http/2? or am i missing something?
That means your PHP backend and your frontend support HTTP/2 . Which is a good thing
REST API works with any underlying HTTP protocol its transparent.
wow man, this is awesome
Thanks for the video. !!!
Great video
thanks for the explanation, can't wait for your new videos!
btw for next video, you should try microservices with grpc
I love your videos ❤
Beautiful video man.
Can anyone help with installing grpc for vscode on ubuntu?
Awesome explanation!!
Hi, can you make a video with spring boot gradle grpc microservice and talk with Smartphone app(client as rest api)
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.
Awesome content!
Great video, helped a lot. I have a question though, how would I be able to access the outputs from my grpc services from my main program, since the callback isn't aware of my local variables and vice versa. Say I wanted to store a todo response as the client, to be used later down the line instead of printing it in the callback, how would I do that?
Hervé SV if you are planning to not use the response immediately you can store it on memory or on disk and retrieve it when you need it.
Declare a global array in memory and push results in it. Or use sqlite
@@hnasr Wow, thanks for the quick reply! However, when I use a global variable to store the response, it always comes out as undefined whenever I try and access it outside of the callback function. Am I doing something wrong?
you are amazing teacher bro make more videos please i love ur content
Awesome!
Which UI you are using to write the code ? how to install and configure grpc in my laptop
He is using VS Code. And NPM to install grpc
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
Thanks man. its a great tutorial.
Glad it helped!
Great talk!
This is Gold , thank you for your wonderful guide~~! +1Sub
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.
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)
thank you a lot ❣️
Great video thanks
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!
Hey Hussien awesome content, thanks a lot! Is grpc stateless or stateful?
Great explanation. Subscribed
Thanks Simon! Welcome to the community and enjoy the content 😊
From rpc to rmi and back to rpc :)
From watching your video to pass interviews to watching them for Job application.. I grew up
Hi, I love the content on your channel. I did not understand why you didn't use a protobuf compiled file and used a json directly. Is that how it's supposed to be done or do we need to use _pb.js to improve the performance??
grpc compiles it so you don't need to do it manually
Can I subscribe for a second time, just to say thank you for your good work? Kudos Hussein Nasser
As someone who builds SaaS at scale, I appreciate your take on industry nonsense and reasoning
Great content
Great Content 👏👏
great share! thank you.
I am getting Error: 14 UNAVAILABLE: failed to connect to all addresses, can anyone help here.
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.
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.
Thanks so much for valuable contents they are wonderful. would you please also upload a video regards to using secure channel in c++/python?
earned my subscription kudos
"Take the whole array and shove it down the client's throat" 😂😂
I wish I could like the video twice
You r awesome!
@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 ?
To support video/audio and I get to pick between the three I would pick webRTC for audio/video and with websockets as metadata
@@hnasr Thank you for the prompt reply.
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 made this possible for me
you left out the awesomness of CORBA 🙃
im very new to backend development, and got to ask what is a http client library ???
A codebase that sends/receives http requests/responses
Coolish!
top notch
Hi Hussein, great video! Just 1 small thing: this line "if (!response.items)" at 55:46 should be "if (response.items)", right?
