gRPC [Node.js] MasterClass: Build Modern API & Microservices

🎉 gRPC [Node.js] MasterClass: Build Modern API & Microservices 🌟

Course Headline:

Better than REST API! Build a JavaScript HTTP/2 API for a NodeJS micro service with gRPC, Protocol Buffers (protobuf) 🚀

Welcome to the future of API development! gRPC is a cutting-edge framework designed for building scalable, modern, and fast APIs. Tech giants like Google, Square, and Netflix are already leveraging gRPC to power their services, and now it's your turn! This course will guide you through the process of creating a high-performance, efficient microservice using gRPC in Node.js, with Protocol Buffers as the transport mechanism.

What You'll Learn:

🎓 In-depth gRPC Exploration:

• Learn the theory behind gRPC and its advantages over traditional REST APIs.
• Understand how HTTP/2 and Protocol Buffers work together to provide an efficient communication protocol.

🚀 Hands-On Project:

• Implement two practical services: Greet and a Calculator Service, from scratch.
• Write your .proto files to define the service structure and generate code in Node.js for both server and client implementations.

🛠️ Advanced gRPC Features:

• Learn about Unary, Server Streaming, Client Streaming, and Bi-Directional Streaming RPCs.
• Practice error handling, deadlines, and SSL security to ensure robust communication.

📊 Real-World Application:

• Build a full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) API on top of MongoDB using gRPC.
• Get pointers for further learning and explore real-world gRPC services.

Course Structure:

Section Outline:

5. [Hands-On] gRPC Server Streaming RPC:

   • Create a service where the server sends streaming data to the client.

6. [Hands-On] gRPC Client Streaming RPC:

   • Implement a service where the client streams data to the server, which processes and responds.

7. [Hands-On] gRPC Bi-Directional Streaming RPC:

   • Build a service that allows both parties to send and receive messages in both directions simultaneously.

8. [Hands-On] gRPC Advanced Features Deep Dive:

   • Explore error handling, deadlines, and SSL security for a secure and robust application.
