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.
