  The best way of working with Protocol Buffers.

  

  Project mention: Go Protobuf: The New Opaque API | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-16

  Buf CLI itself is licensed under a permissive Apache 2.0 License [0]. Buf distinguishes a few types of plugins: the most important being local and remote.

  Local plugins are executables installed on your own machine, and Buf places no restrictions on use of those. Since Buf is a compiler, its output cannot be copyrighted (similar to proprietary or GPL licensed compilers). DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer. But it is my understanding that if you only use Buf with local plugins, law-wise you should be in the clear.

  Remote plugins are hosted on BSR (Buf Schema Registry) servers [1], which are rate limited. All remote plugins are also available as local plugins if you install them.

  Additionally, BSR also offers hosting of user proto schemas and plugins, and this is where pricing comes in [2].

  [Deprecated] Protocol Buffers for Go with Gadgets (by gogo)

  

  Project mention: gRPC: The Bad Parts | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-27

  The Go tooling for gRPC is inexplicably bad, both in terms of ergonomics and in terms of performance.

  The GoGoProtobuf [1] project was started to improve both. It would generate nice Go types that followed Go's conventions. And it uses fast binary serialization without needing to resort to reflection.

  Unfortunately, the gRPC/Protobuf team(s) at Google is famously resistant to changes, and was unwilling to work with the GoGo. As a result, the GoGo project is now dead. [2]

  I've never used Buf, but it looks like it might fix most of the issues with the Go support.

  Evans: more expressive universal gRPC client

  Project mention: gRPC Quick start - Coding with streams and bidirectional streaming | dev.to | 2024-06-13

  You should see the Server starting on port :50051 message. To interact with the gRPC server, we will use Evans, which is an interactive command-line client for gRPC. You can read more about it here and can install using docker docker run --rm --network host -it ghcr.io/ktr0731/evans --host localhost --port 50051 --reflection. This method is not recommended, but in our case, it will be fine. If everything worked correctly, you must see something like this in your terminal:

  I'm surprised the author doesn't mention ConnectRPC: https://connectrpc.com/

  It solves ALL the problems of vanilla gRPC, and it even is compatible with the gRPC clients! It grew out of Twirp protocol, which I liked so much I made a C++ implementation: https://github.com/Cyberax/twirp-cpp

  But ConnectRPC guys went further, and they built a complete infrastructure for RPC. Including a package manager (buf.build), integration with observability ( https://connectrpc.com/docs/go/observability/ ).

  And most importantly, they also provide a library to do rich validation (mandatory fields, field limits, formats, etc): https://buf.build/bufbuild/protovalidate

  Oh, and for the unlimited message problem, you really need to use streaming. gRPC supports it, as does ConnectRPC.
