Name: Sagar Sonwane (Software Engineer, Josh Software)
Topic: Protobuf & gRPC : Because Milliseconds Matter

Most of the existing microservices are using REST with JSON payloads as a standard way of communicating with one another. But as the number of microservices increases in the infrastructure, the service graph becomes more complex, and as a result, there are pain points and limitations in using REST for communications. Sagar will show you how to use gRPC and Protobuf to overcome these limitations.
