While gRPC brings a lot of power to enterprise level distributed computing, it's not an easy technology to implement. gRPC is a specification only. Thus, any programmer or company is free to implement it in any language that's capable of handling the details of the specification. But, this is easier said than done because implementing gRPC is a daunting task.

In the previous installment of this series, we described the basics of gRPC in terms of history and overview. We talked about how gRPC emerged from Remote Procedure call technology (RPC) and evolved into a technology that is becoming a fixture on the landscape of distributed computing. Also, we provided a high-level overview of how the technology works.
