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.

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.

Rich Error Model: This model enables servers to return and clients to consume additional error details expressed as one or more protobuf messages. It further specifies a standard set of error message types to cover the most common error (QuotaFailure, PreconditionFailure, BadRequest, etc). When an error occurs, the server returns the appropriate status code along with an optional error message.

Project mention: tRPC – Move Fast and Break Nothing. End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-12
DX for front or back end? The beauty of tRPC is that the types are derived/inferred from the backend runtime code (like, as you type). It would be nigh impossible to do that with grpc(-web) using proto files as the source of truth.
It's possible there's a project out there which could automatically produce proto files from something like zod, json-schema, etc. which could be directly interpreted by TS to provide similar (as you type) DX while still allowing some other language backend to consume the derived proto files (though the DX there would be less than ideal).
If you're just looking for similar TS clients/interfaces for grpc-web then I'd recommend https://github.com/timostamm/protobuf-ts which operates on plain JS objects (no new MyMessage().serialize(), instead the code generator mostly produces TS interfaces for you to work against: const myMessage: MyMessage = pojoConformingToInterface; const binary = MyMessage.toBinary(myMessage);)
