Google Remote Procedure Call, also commonly referred to as gRPC<\/strong> is a modern, open-source, high-performance remote procedure call (RPC<\/strong>) framework that is frequently used in microservice architectures to connect small independent services in and across data centers efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

gRPC<\/a> is a modern open source high performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC<\/strong>) framework that can run in any environment. It can efficiently connect services in and across data centers with pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking and authentication. It is also applicable in last mile of distributed computing to connect devices, mobile applications and browsers to backend services.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/www.grpc.io\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is an RPC<\/strong> (Remote Procedure Call) framework? RPC<\/strong> is a distributed computing technique that a program can use to execute a piece of code running on the same or a remote machine. The procedure call is commonly referred to as a function call<\/strong><\/em> or a subroutine call<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, you will learn how to build a complete CRUD gRPC API server and client with TypeScript in a Node.js environment that runs on an Expressjs framework<\/a> and uses a Prisma database ORM<\/a>. We’ll create five RPC services on the gRPC server that are going to be evoked by the gRPC client to perform the basic CRUD (Create<\/strong>, Read<\/strong>, Update<\/strong>, and Delete<\/strong>) operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, we will create three .proto<\/code> files that will hold the Protobuf definitions to create a new record, update the existing record, and the RPC response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we’ll create the services.proto<\/code> file to define the RPC methods or services that will be evoked by the gRPC client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
