Keynote: The State of gRPC
summary
gRPC celebrates 10 years and reports 100 million+ weekly downloads, tracing origins to a 2014 design that traded off HTTP/2 header flow control to get production stability and went live in 2015. It delivers flow control and bidirectional streaming out of the box, plus built-in discovery and load balancing, transport auth/encryption, per-request authorization, observability hooks, and advanced traffic management. Recent community contributions add Go performance wins, Spotify and Datadog integrations, and a plan to bring a Rust implementation into the CNCF.
