Previously, we have demonstrated how to implement a bi-directional gRPC streaming server using python. Once the server implementation is ready we will implement the client. In order to implement the client we will have to use the same proto file as the server as that acts as a data contract between server and client. Proto file as follows.
So today we will demonstrate how to setup a bi-directional server using python & gRPC. The very first step to setup any gRPC streaming is to create a data contract in the form of a protocol buffer file. In our demonstration, we will use a simple contract that should be able to create some resource entries to the server in the stream and expect a response in the form of a stream.
In our previous tutorial, we have built a server to handle the bi-directional streams. Here we will build a bi-directional streaming client for the same with NodeJS. In order to implement the following tutorial, we need to have NodeJS 14+ installed on your system and the bi-directional gRPC streaming server is running successfully on the system. As the server is running as a part of the prerequisite so we will assume that all the required dependencies have been installed on the system.
gRPC also provides a unique capability for bi-directional streaming which could be used for any use cases starting from Chat server, persistent service-to-service connection, and lots more. Today we will learn how to implement bi-directional streaming using gRPC with NodeJS. We will build a bi-directional streaming server and client to create an article management application that will allow us to create articles in bulk using streaming.
