A quick note to congratulate anyone working on the @grpc/grpc-js
project for their 1.0 last month. There’s been a C++ native module of GRPC around for awhile now, but @grpc/grpc-js
a pure TypeScript (that compiles to pretty clean javascript) implementation, and we’ve found
- That it’s mostly a drop in replacement for
grpc
- That performance (for our use case) is in the same ballpark as
grpc
Beyond the hassles of native modules not always compiling cleanly, being able to debug your own issues without dropping down into C++ brain is always preferable. If you’re looking to get started with GRPC and node now is a great time.
