Go and gRPC is just so intuitive. Here's a detailed full-stack flow with gRPC-Web, Go and React. Also, there is a medium story focused on explaining how such a setup might boost efficiency and the step-by-step implementation.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/golang

  • bloomrpc

    Discontinued Former GUI client for gRPC services. No longer maintained.

  • Hey! Not at all. There is a wonderful tool called BloomRPC I mainly use this. Very recently Postman announced that they will support gRPC too. Postman Blog

  • gRPC

    The C based gRPC (C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)

  • https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/command_line_tool.md is probably what you'd want

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • grpcui

    An interactive web UI for gRPC, along the lines of postman

  • grpcox

    Like Postman, but for gRPC: web based GUI client for gRPC Development Testing

  • grpc-web

    gRPC for Web Clients

  • Here is the roadmap: gRPC-Web Roadmap

  • evans

    Evans: more expressive universal gRPC client

  • https://github.com/ktr0731/evans it's the best cli tool I've ever used

  • wombat

    Cross platform gRPC client (by rogchap)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • grpc-bench

  • It still seems to be slower and do more mem allocation https://github.com/7heWafer/grpc-bench

  • buf

    The best way of working with Protocol Buffers.

  • That was a fun read! Have you checked out https://buf.build/ by any chance? It simplifies a lot of the weird/annoying protoc stuff and enforces a schema that other tools can utilize. It also has pattern matching and all that + supports the usual proto plugins.

  • wasmws

    wasmws: Webassembly (WASM) Websockets for Go applications

  • A while back I was writing a pure Go frontend app (WASM) and I wrote this so I could use gRPC rather than REST to talk to my backend: https://github.com/tarndt/wasmws
