Explore the world of gRPC and its integration with Python in this 23-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2022. Dive into the fundamentals of gRPC, a cutting-edge technology for client-server interactions that offers low latency, high scalability, and versatile applications in distributed systems. Learn how gRPC enables direct calls from clients to servers on different machines, simulating local object interactions. Discover the benefits of Protocol Buffers for data serialization, resulting in faster, smaller, and simpler payloads. Get hands-on experience with the grpcio package in Python as you build a basic gRPC service, define protocol buffers, and create both client and server components. Gain valuable insights into implementing gRPC in Python-based projects, enhancing your skills in modern distributed system development.
