Generating gRPC Services

Overview

Generate gRPC service definitions, client/server stubs, and implementations from Protocol Buffer (protobuf) .proto files. Scaffold unary, server-streaming, client-streaming, and bidirectional-streaming RPC methods with proper error status codes, interceptors for auth/logging, and health check service registration.

Prerequisites

• Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc) v3.21+ installed
• Language-specific gRPC plugin: grpc_tools_node_protoc_plugin (Node.js), grpcio-tools (Python), or Go gRPC plugin
• buf CLI for proto linting and breaking change detection (recommended)
• gRPC testing tool: grpcurl, evans, or BloomRPC
• TLS certificates for production transport security (mTLS recommended for service-to-service)
