This hands-on workshop introduces gRPC, a modern RPC framework for building microservices. Learn Protocol Buffers, implement gRPC services from scratch, and explore communication patterns in Python. Discover how gRPC compares to REST APIs and use pre-configured Docker environments to test, benchmark, and monitor your services. By the end, you'll have practical knowledge to build microservices with gRPC. Basic Python knowledge required. All tools and infrastructure provided—bring a laptop with Docker installed.
