  • grpc-web

    gRPC for Web Clients

    • The thing that made grpc-web unusable for any serious project is that it adds ~50KB (compressed) of extra dependencies because the generated protos needlessly pull in "google-protobuf" and "buffer" deps. It's irrelevant when used on the server, but crippling for the browser. There's a whole long issue about this with no solution: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web/issues/270 Are you telling me that you managed to solve this issue? It would be a game changer and I'll start rewriting me work's codebase with it next week if true.

  • protobuf-ts

    Protobuf and RPC for TypeScript

    • I'd recommend looking into protobuf-ts (Timo from Buf) or protobuf-es (Buf maintained).
