Example of gRPC on Node.js

gRPC

gRPC is a high performance, open-source universal RPC framework, developed by Google. In gRPC, a client application can directly call methods on a server application on a different machine as if it was a local object, making it easier to create distributed applications and services.

This example demonstrates

• gRPC implementation on Server and Client side
• Protocol Buffers usage
• Deadline to specify how long client is willing to wait for an RPC to complete before the RPC is terminated with the error DEADLINE_EXCEEDED
• Server streaming RPCs where the client sends a request to the server and gets a stream to read a sequence of messages back.
