What is gRPC?

gRPC is a high-performance, open-source framework developed by Google for building remote procedure calls (RPCs). It uses Protocol Buffers as its Interface Definition Language (IDL) and relies on HTTP/2 for transport. gRPC enables client applications to directly call methods on a server application on a different machine as if it were a local object, making it easier to create distributed applications and microservices.
