gRPC-based microservice communication: pros and cons based on our experience [ukr]

Talk presentation

In modern microservice architectures, selecting the right protocol for interaction between microservices plays a crucial role in the overall performance and reliability of the system. In my presentation, I will share our migration experience from the traditional HTTP API to gRPC, including the motivations behind this decision and the challenges encountered during the migration process.

We will explore the advantages and limitations that gRPC brought to our system and the results of an experiment where we compared the performance of the protocols.

Through real examples, we will check some use cases where migration to gRPC is a great solution and discuss scenarios where this approach might be less effective.
