Explore gRPC reflection and grpcurl in this GopherCon 2018 talk by Joshua Humphries. Dive into the world of gRPC and Protocol Buffers, learning how they've become industry standards for data exchange and microservice architecture. Discover the limitations of code generation for certain tools, such as general-purpose command-line clients. Gain insights into gRPC and protocol buffer reflection, understanding how descriptors and introspection enable dynamic gRPC client creation without code generation. Learn about grpcurl, a powerful command-line tool for dynamically invoking gRPC methods, akin to cURL for gRPC. Examine the Go libraries for gRPC, protocol buffers, and protobuf reflection, and see how they come together to build grpcurl. This 43-minute session provides a comprehensive look at advanced gRPC concepts and practical applications for Go developers.
