Full Stack Forays with Go and gRPC
A proxy is required to communicate from web clients to a server running gRPC, and there are only two choices for this proxy: a. The Improbable gRPC-Web client or b. The Google gRPC-Web client

gRPC + Envoy + grpc-web = scalable multiplexed streaming?
I'll have to try the Improbable method (https://github.com/improbable-eng/grpc-web) - as it definitely includes a websocket transport, hopefully this multiplexes requests on that transport and would hence solve the problem. I'll post again once I know...

RPC in Go using Twitch's Twirp
What I like with gRPC is that it allows both client and server side streaming. Twirp seems to not have this feature at all. In contrast the https://github.com/improbable-eng/grpc-web even supports server and client streaming while wrapping gRPC in a HTTP1.1 Web connection.

Goomerang 🪃 A protocol buffers over websockets communications library
I highly recommend also to look into https://github.com/improbable-eng/grpc-web in contrast to the 'official' gRPC-web from google the improbable-eng Implementation can do both server side and client side gRPC streaming (when used with their JavaScript client library) and all this on an http1.1/websocket basis...

is there any startup or famous web app using grpc/grpc-web for their frontend
We use https://github.com/improbable-eng/grpc-web for the server part with https://github.com/protobufjs/protobuf.js on the frontend.

Why isn't gRPC used more for browser to api transport over REST / graphql?
I'm debating whether or not to rely on grpc for all client to API transport using improbable-eng's grpc-web project. The hesitation I'm running into is concern over unforeseen pitfalls. The fact that it isn't widely used is the main cause for my apprehension.

Aspiring Golang Developer here, could you suggest a few ideas of what I could write with Golang?
If you use https://github.com/improbable-eng/grpc-web you do not need envoy, you can wrap your golang grpc connection. I then mux the grpc and grpc-web so that I can use the same endpoint to serve http1 and http2 clients. This makes it easy to host on the cloud, eg. google cloud run.

Can App Load Balancer or ECS (Fargate) handle HTTP1 proxying for gRPC services?
I'm setting up a server portion of a website which uses (g)RPC. My dev setup is a docker-compose.yml that starts up my server on 50051 & another service that runs grpcwebproxy (exposes 8080 and proxies to my server @ 50051).

How we reverse-engineered Google Maps pagination
Google Maps URLs contain the pb parameter contains string-encoded Protobuf. The format is the same as for the data parameter in the browser URL on Google Maps. It contains !-separated values. There are several answers on StackOverflow, gists on GitHub, some blog posts about decoding, and even a kinda official guide on reverse engineering protobuf, but none of this touches pagination.

Add extra stuff to a “standard” encoding? Sure, why not
Seems like protoduf.js has the exact same methods as Google’s implementations with the same names (encode/decode to not prepend with length, encodeDelimited/decodeDelimited for prepending length). It is hard for me to say they’re adding to the standard when they’re just replicating Google’s libraries.

Question about compressing JSON in multiplayer position updates
If it really is a problem, then another option is to use Protobus or Message Pack for serializing (maybe into base64?).

We use https://github.com/improbable-eng/grpc-web for the server part with https://github.com/protobufjs/protobuf.js on the frontend.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing grpc-web and protobuf you can also consider the following projects:
protobuf-ts - Protobuf and RPC for TypeScript
snappy - DEPRECATED - please use https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/snappy. Nodejs bindings to Google's Snappy compression library
twirp - A simple RPC framework with protobuf service definitions
pbf - A low-level, lightweight protocol buffers implementation in JavaScript.
ts-proto - An idiomatic protobuf generator for TypeScript
compactr - Schema based serialization made easy
protoc-gen-validate - Protocol Buffer Validation - Being replaced by github.com/bufbuild/protovalidate
Vicis - Presentation and transformation layer for data output in RESTful APIs.
grpc-json-mock - This is a mock of grpc used for front-end development. Prepare the server using nodejs.
TypeScript - TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.
openapi - an OpenAPI 3.x library for go
Cap'n Proto - Cap'n Proto serialization/RPC system - core tools and C++ library
