Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - When to Use gRPC? Use Cases of gRPC

The video tutorial discusses GRPC and its various use cases. GRPC is primarily used for backend services, enabling synchronous microservice communication, supporting polyglot environments, facilitating real-time communication, and operating efficiently in network-constrained environments. It highlights GRPC's advantages, such as low latency, high throughput, and smaller binary messages compared to text-based formats.

What is the primary use case of GRPC in backend services?

• User interface design

• Asynchronous data processing

• Synchronous microservice communication

• Database management

In what type of environment is GRPC particularly useful due to its support for mixed programming languages?

• Single-language environments

• Polyglot environments

• Legacy systems

• Mobile applications

Why is GRPC preferred in scenarios requiring low latency and high throughput?

• It uses text-based messages

• It supports only one-way communication

• It offers high performance

• It is easy to implement

How does GRPC facilitate real-time communication?

• Through batch processing

• By using polling

• Through bidirectional streaming

• By sending emails

What advantage does GRPC have in network-constrained environments?

• Increased bandwidth usage

• Smaller binary message size

• Text-based message format

• Larger message sizes
