gRPC is a battle-tested framework for making web API calls over the network originally developed by Google. In this talk, we will explain what gRPC is and what advantages it has over a plain ol' HTTP+JSON API. We will also show how you can develop and run your own Swift-based gRPC backend in the cloud.
