  Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format

  

Project mention: Reverse Engineering Protobuf Definitions from Compiled Binaries | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-09

For at least 4 years protobuf has had decent support for self-describing messages (very similar to avro) as well as reflection

https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...

Xgooglers trying to make do on the cheap will just create a Union of all their messages and include the message def in a self-describing message pattern. Super-sensitive network I/O can elide the message def (empty buffer) and any for RecordIO clone well file compression takes care of the definition.

Definitely useful to be able to dig out old defs but protobuf maintainers have surprisingly added useful features so you don’t have to.

Bonus points tho for extracting the protobuf defs that e.g. Apple bakes into their binaries.

Project mention: 5 Open Source tools written in Golang that you should know about | dev.to | 2023-12-15

The Buf CLI is a versatile tool designed for handling Protocol Buffers (Protobuf), a method of serializing structured data. It offers several key features, including managing Protobuf assets through the Buf Schema Registry (BSR), providing a linter to enforce optimal API design and structure, and a breaking change detector to maintain compatibility either in source code or at the wire level. Additionally, the Buf CLI includes a generator that activates plugins based on user-defined templates and a formatter to standardize the formatting of Protobuf files according to industry norms. It also integrates seamlessly with the Buf Schema Registry, supporting comprehensive dependency management.

Project mention: Seeking advice on implementing a tinyurl-like service using Go and gRPC. | /r/golang | 2023-05-24

2: You can use gorm to save time and can also use protobuf plugin to make your life easier. I like https://github.com/complex64/protoc-gen-gorm it does not support relations yet but I guess you only need one table. ORM is not recommended but working with protobuffers you can save a lot of time with auto generation. if not ORM, u/jloking post makes more sense.
