gRPC specialists for your dedicated team.

Where gRPC fits in a long-term product team.

The contract is the point. A .proto file defines the interface, generates client and server code in every language involved, and makes an incompatible change fail at build time, before production. For internal traffic between services owned by different teams, that is a stronger guarantee than documentation and good intentions.

It is a poor fit anywhere the caller is a browser or an external partner. Binary payloads are not inspectable with ordinary tools, browser support needs a proxy, and a partner integration in gRPC is a support burden you will feel. Most estates run gRPC internally and REST at the edge.

What your dedicated team does with gRPC.

Service-to-service contracts are where an assigned team's memory pays off directly. The proto files describe what the services agree to today; why a field was deprecated and what still depends on it lives with whoever was there. Rotating that person out converts a cheap change into a risky one.

gRPC work almost never stands alone. It usually arrives as part of a wider service architecture through a dedicated software development team, with the platform capacity to run it agreed at the same time.

Common gRPC use cases.

• High-volume internal traffic Service-to-service calls where payload size and latency are measured, and the saving over JSON is material.
• Contracts across team boundaries A generated interface two teams cannot accidentally break, enforced by the build.
• Streaming between services Long-lived bidirectional connections where request and response is the wrong shape for the problem.

Adding gRPC skills to your team.

gRPC work is part of the work of a dedicated software development team, usually within a wider service architecture. The four steps from brief to first sprint are described in four steps.

gRPC specialists join your team remotely as dedicated, full-time team members, selected, employed and managed by us in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Companies that hire offshore developers through Azendo add the skill at the next monthly cycle.
