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.
HTTP/2 works very similarly from the client perspective. We can still make GET requests, POST requests etc, and also we are still using a single TCP connection. But here we ended up using this single TCP connection, very efficiently. The client in this scenario , shoves as many requests at the same time into this pipe .This is called multiplexing.
A proto file is a schema definition about your messages and your structured data. This proto file will need to be converted to X language file. Google has built a compiler called protoC, to this you will need to feed it, what language you want the output to be, and it will output that equivalent language. If you give javascript, the protoC will give you a javascript equivalent file, in case you give it a python, it will give you a python file with the same schema. That is why it is language neutral.
