React with gRPC
summary
React front end connects to a gRPC backend using gRPC-Web + Envoy gateway so browser clients call generated stubs over HTTP/2; the build runs protoc with a protoc-gen-grpc-web TypeScript plugin to emit a HelloRequest/HelloReply pair plus a service client. Payloads are binary protobufs (smaller and lower latency than JSON). A working demo sends a name and receives “Aloha …” from the server, enforces compile-time types, and lets front and back teams iterate independently.
