Playground gRPC API (server)

• Learning about building gRPC Services

Build

• Run build: ./gradlew clean build
• Build into a Native Image: ./gradlew dockerBuildNative. It creates a docker image tagged by default as grpc-playground-api-server:latest

Run (Docker compose)

• Default latest: docker-compose up -d
• Override version, i.e. 1.0: PLAYGROUND_API_VERSION=1.0 docker-compose up -d

To-do next

• Build Native (Graalvm)
• gRPC Health Check
• TDD approach for gRPC applications
• Proto files sync for clients
• Contract testing
