gRPC is a general RPC framework focused on performance and interoperability across a wide range of programming environments. gRPC was initially developed at Google as a successor to an internal RPC platform called Stubby — a general application platform at the heart of many Google products and services. gRPC seeks not only to replicate the success of Stubby, but improve upon it, in the open, around modern standards such as HTTP/2 and proven technologies such as Protocol Buffers.
In this session we will demonstrate, through a series of live demos and code walkthroughs, how to design, build, and deploy a collection of microservices using gRPC from the ground up. Key gRPC concepts will be covered including authenticating gRPC services and clients, service discovery, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
After attending this session attendees will understand:
Materials or downloads needed in advance
Google Compute Engine account, a laptop, working SSH client, and GitHub account.
Description
Linux containers are only part of the puzzle when designing large scale infrastructure for microservices. First you’ll need a host to run your containers, as the OS is still a requirement. Next you’ll need to configure your containers and deploy them in a way that utilizes your resources efficiently. When that’s all done, you’ll need a way for the services running inside your containers to announce and discover each other. Oh and you need to do all of that fast; manual processes don’t work at scale. A tall order no doubt, but Kubernetes has you covered.
After attending this tutorial you’ll know how to:
