Getting Started with gRPC and JavaScript - Colin Ihrig, Joyent
Speakers: Colin Ihrig
gRPC is a language independent framework for making remote procedure calls used by large companies such as Netflix, Docker, Google, and more. gRPC leverages technologies such as HTTP2 and protocol buffers to create efficient network based applications.

This talk provides an introduction to basic gRPC concepts, and shows how the framework can be used in both browser and Node.js applications. This talk will compare and contrast the various modules available to JavaScript developers. Finally, the talk will discuss certain architectural tradeoffs that come with gRPC-based systems.
