gRPC Testing | Introduction to gRPC (why gRPC, features, protocol buffers)

Have you ever wondered what gRPC APIs are and how different it is to work with them compared to REST APIs? Are you curious about how gRPC services are built under the hood and how can you write unit, e2e, or load tests for it? Well, this series is for you.

In this video, I kick off this new series and introduce you to gRPC basics and talk about protocol buffers and how is it used in gRPC, all in practical terms without long-winded theory and with code.

My aim with this series is to help you be productive in writing gRPC automated tests as soon as possible. 🥷

So grab your popcorn, or keyboard and follow along. It will be a fun ride.

In this video, you’ll learn:

🔹 What is gRPC?
🔹 What features does gRPC provide?
🔹 What are protocol buffers and proto compiler and how are they used in gRPC
