Scalable Microservices with gRPC & Kubernetes

Explore the world of scalable microservices architecture in this conference talk from NDC Melbourne 2022. Dive into the challenges of migrating from monolithic to microservices-based architectures and discover how gRPC and Kubernetes can address these issues. Learn about gRPC's platform-neutral RPC framework, based on HTTP/2 and Protobuf, and its benefits for building high-performance, scalable APIs. Understand how gRPC simplifies network calls and provides a methodology for generating services and clients in multiple languages. Gain insights from Google's experience running microservices at scale and see practical demonstrations of core concepts in gRPC and Kubernetes. Discover how to combine these technologies to create efficient and performant microservices, including a simple method for adding gRPC load balancing to Kubernetes services. Whether you're a developer or architect interested in microservices, this talk offers valuable lessons on leveraging gRPC's growing ecosystem and community to enhance your microservice development.
