gRPC [Java] Master Class: Build Modern API and Microservices - Section Summary - why use gRPC

The video introduces GRPC, highlighting its advantages such as easy code definition and generation in multiple languages using protocol buffers. It uses a modern, low-latency HTTP/2 transport mechanism with built-in SSL security and supports streaming APIs for enhanced performance. GRPC is API-oriented, making it easier to understand compared to resource-oriented frameworks like REST. The video concludes with a transition to hands-on implementation of GRPC APIs.
