About this ebook
"gRPCurl Essentials"
gRPCurl Essentials offers an authoritative, hands-on guide for engineers, architects, and DevOps practitioners seeking to master the modern gRPC ecosystem with gRPCurl. Beginning with a clear exploration of remote procedure calls (RPC), this book delves into the foundations of gRPC, its protocol architecture, and the design principles motivating its explosion in distributed systems. Readers are introduced to the origins, capabilities, and unique value of gRPCurl, learning how it differentiates itself from traditional HTTP tools and graphical interfaces to become an indispensable command-line companion in contemporary API development.
The book systematically progresses from installation and configuration on various platforms to deep dives into powerful usage patterns. Each chapter illuminates essential topics—including authentication, bidirectional streaming, performance benchmarking, advanced scripting, and security best practices—using practical examples and expert insights. Readers will find comprehensive command references, real-world troubleshooting strategies, and advanced guidance for introspecting APIs, handling massive payloads, and automating tests across complex, multi-environment architectures.
With specialized chapters on interoperability, DevOps integration, and diagnostics, gRPCurl Essentials bridges the gap between theory and applied practice. Whether integrating with CI/CD pipelines, working in containerized or serverless environments, or ensuring compliance in high-security contexts, this book equips professionals with proven techniques, case studies, and forward-looking perspectives. The result is an indispensable guide for leveraging gRPCurl effectively at any stage of the software delivery lifecycle.
