How Low Can You Go? A Comparative Dive Into gRPC and TtRPC for Memory-Efficient Environments

Explore a comparative analysis of gRPC and ttRPC for memory-efficient environments in this conference talk. Dive into the CNCF project ttRPC, built as a low-memory alternative to gRPC, and discover its applications in containerd CRI, VM runtime by kata containers, confidential containers, and numerous projects across GitHub. Examine the performance, security, and characteristics of ttRPC against various benchmarks, and understand its limitations compared to gRPC. Learn about the challenges in analyzing critical metrics for ttRPC and the importance of rigorous benchmarking for optimizing deployments. Gain insights into the tools available for gRPC analysis and the need for comprehensive analytics tools for ttRPC.
