The next revolution of asynchronous messaging, chatRPC, is here!

Objective 🧐

I built this to learn about the RPC protocol, and in particular, gRPC.

Many enterprise services I've developed have all been exposed through a RESTful interface. While sufficient, I've sometimes felt that the overhead of building a web server was quite a lot for the problem at hand - particularly for a microservice-style architecture where services may be quite chatty and not be user-facing.

Running 👨🏾‍💻

Okay, this is obviously going to be the next killer unicorn app - how's it run?

1. Perform a mvn package
2. Run com.example.grpc.chat.server.ChatServer to bring up the gRPC server
3. Run as many com.example.grpc.chat.client.ChatClients as you'd like to get to chatting!
