Learn gRPC - Pre-Requisites Skill & Setup Environment
Before touching gRPC, you need to master the concepts of RPC, HTTP/2, data serialization with Protocol Buffers, plus basic networking and TLS. In this episode you'll also set up the protoc compiler, language plugins, and verify your first installation.

Learn gRPC - History, Background & Why We Need gRPC
This episode traces the evolution of gRPC from Google's internal RPC system called Stubby, the 2015 open source release, to the standardization of protobuf as an IDL. You'll also compare gRPC with REST/JSON and understand when gRPC isn't the right choice.

Learn gRPC - Core Concepts & Main Architecture
This episode dissects gRPC's architecture from the inside: how protobuf becomes client and server code, the role of HTTP/2 multiplexing and HPACK, the stub and channel components, and the metadata, deadlines, and status codes that govern every RPC.

Learn gRPC - Writing Your First gRPC API with Protocol Buffers
This episode teaches you to write gRPC contracts: the complete structure of a .proto file, modern protobuf v3 data types like enum, oneof, map, and repeated, and how to declare the four RPC patterns — unary, server streaming, client streaming, and bidirectional.

Learn gRPC - Generate Code & Run Your First Server-Client
This episode turns a .proto file into real code: installing plugins, the protoc command for Go, implementing a simple server, implementing a simple client, then local testing with a request-response round trip that runs successfully for the first time.

Learn gRPC - gRPC Unary, Streaming, and Basic Error Handling
This episode covers the real implementation of the four RPC patterns: unary, server streaming, client streaming, and bidirectional streaming. You'll also learn error handling with status codes, rich error details, and handling deadlines and cancellation on both sides.

Learn gRPC - Metadata, Interceptors & Lifecycle Callbacks
This episode covers metadata as RPC headers, client and server interceptors for both unary and streaming, and lifecycle callbacks for request logging, tracing, and authorization context that can be reused across all your services.

Learn gRPC - gRPC Configuration, Environment Variables, and Local Deployment
This episode composes environment-aware gRPC configuration: environment variables for port, TLS, service discovery, and retry policy, then runs the gRPC server inside Docker and docker-compose for a clean local deployment.

Learn gRPC - State, Data Management & Schema Evolution
This episode covers how to evolve protobuf schemas without breaking contracts: message versioning and field numbering techniques, gradual service migration, and integrating gRPC with databases or stateful backends using the repository pattern.
