## GRPC Reviews
  ### 1. Communication is much faster as compared to the http request

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Saurabh kr. G. | Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2022

**What do you like best about GRPC?**

It's way to directly used from the compiled Java files generated by the proto files and using them as stub in different microservices. It is much better than the competitors as it is 6-7 times faster in processing the request and returning the response. There are lot of extra efforts for transformation of request and response

**What do you dislike about GRPC?**

Grpc is quite good with the service it provide but there is a lack of proper documentation and community support for this technology. It would be much better if there are more how to guides on it in simpler way step by step because it is difficult to implement than http.also there are lot of extra effort to implement as well.

**What problems is GRPC solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is providing much faster communication as compared to the normal http request. Almost 6-7 times faster in processing the request and return response.  Yes performance is much more increased.
