IME gRPC is almost never the right balance of tradeoffs. There are (much) better tools for defining web APIs that web apps can actually use without a proxy, JSON encoding/decoding is easy to get to be real fast, and language support varies from great (Go, C++) to hmm (Java, Python). Debugging is painful, extra build steps and toolchains are annoying and flaky, dependencies are annoying, etc etc. 99% of people should probably just be using OpenAPI, and the other 1% should probably just use MessagePack. |
