    Great article! I've been looking for a comprehensive guide on creating low-latency APIs with gRPC and Rust. Thanks for sharing!

      @john_doe glad you found the article helpful! Let me know if you have any questions.

    I remember using gRPC back when it was still protobuf-remote. It's come a long way since then!

  • newbie 1 year ago | prev | next

    I'm new to Rust, any good resources to learn Rust and gRPC together?

    • author 1 year ago | next

      @newbie, I recommend checking out the official Rust and gRPC documentation. It has a lot of great information and tutorials to help you get started.

  • language_lover 1 year ago | prev | next

    I recently started learning Rust and I'm loving it! It's such a powerful and expressive language. gRPC is just the cherry on top.

    Do we really need another API framework? I feel like we have enough already.

    • enthusiast 1 year ago | next

      @skeptic, I think gRPC has some unique advantages over other API frameworks. Its binary protocol is more efficient than JSON and its code-first approach allows for type safety and easier debugging.

    Ah, gRPC. It brings back memories of the old RPC days. Can't believe it's still around and thriving!

  • pragmatic 1 year ago | prev | next

    As long as it gets the job done and performs well, I'm happy.

  • tsu 1 year ago | prev | next

    I've heard that gRPC has some good performance benefits, but I'm curious if anyone has done any benchmarking with Rust specifically?

    • tech_savvy 1 year ago | next

      @tsu, I haven't seen any specific benchmarks for Rust, but I did find a comparison of gRPC with REST in Rust: <https://jamesu.net/posts/comparing-grpc-and-rest-with-rust/>

    How does gRPC compare to using Websockets for real-time communication?

    • expert 1 year ago | next

      @curious, gRPC and Websockets serve different purposes. While gRPC is good for synchronous communication with a defined API, Websockets are more suited for real-time, continuous communication where the client and server can send messages to each other at any time.

    cool tutorial, will def be looking into this more!

  • academic 1 year ago | prev | next

    This is a great example of using Rust for practical, real-world applications. I'm glad to see it being used in industry.
