A curated list of useful resources for gRPC
A community-maintained curated list of gRPC tools, libraries, tutorials, and resources organized by programming language and use case.
Awesome gRPC is a community-maintained list of tools, libraries, tutorials, and other resources related to gRPC. gRPC is a system developed by Google for allowing software components, often running on different machines, to call each other's functions over a network as if they were local. It is commonly used in backend systems where services need to communicate efficiently.
The list is organized into sections covering documentation, official libraries across many programming languages, and third-party tools grouped by purpose. The tools section includes command-line clients for sending gRPC requests, graphical clients that work like API testing tools, and load testing utilities for measuring how a gRPC service handles heavy traffic. There is also a section on Protocol Buffers, which is the data format that gRPC uses to define what messages look like and to generate code in various languages.
Language-specific sections collect community libraries and extensions for Go, Node.js, Java, Python, C#, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, and a number of other programming languages. This makes the list useful for developers working in any common language who want to find gRPC tooling for that environment.
The resources section links to tutorials, conference talks on video, slide decks, and example projects. There is also a section listing similar or related projects for people exploring alternatives.
This is a link repository rather than a software project. It contains no runnable code. Its value is as a starting point for anyone trying to understand what gRPC tools exist or find a specific kind of gRPC library for a given programming language or task. The full README is longer than what was shown.
