Where gRPC is well Suited to

• Microservices

  • Low latency and high throughput communication

  • Strong API contract

• Polygot environments

  • code generation yang memsupport banyaka bahasa pemrograman

• Point-to-Point realtime communication

  • Support yang sangat baik untuk BiDirectional Streaming

• Network constrained environments

  • format message yang ringan
