Postman Now Supports gRPC
Here is the github repo for httpyac [1]. Not sure why it's not part of the httpyac org that hosts the site.

Top 4 gRPC API Testing Tools You Need to Know
grpcurl is a command-line tool designed to interact with gRPC services. It is simple, fast, and perfect for testing APIs directly from the terminal, especially when working with microservices.

Now, use grpcurl again and check Jaeger. You should be able to see one trace for both PaymentReceiverAPI and Worker, with the entire operation in one timeline:

A detailed comparison of REST and gRPC
> What is the ubiquitous utility for interacting with gRPC? We have curl for REST. What is openAPI of gRPC?
grpcurl[1] combined with gRPC server reflection[2]. The schema is compiled into the server as an encoded proto which is exposed via server reflection, which grpcurl reads to send correctly encoded requests.

gRPC on the client side
The whole idea behind the post is that accessing the gRPC service with regular tools is impossible. To test, we need a dedicated tool nonetheless. I found grpcurl. Let's install it and use it to list available services:
-
RPC > REST
gRpcurl is a cool little tool to look at btw. Had to use it at my job before. Can call a gRPC via a curl like command. Regular curl doesn't support HTTP2. Had to use TLS with some tokens even. But you can reference a local .proto(gRPC protobuf file for the call) and make things easier for yourself if you hate reading instructions on command line args like I do.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing httpyac and grpcurl you can also consider the following projects:
