Protocol buffers (protobuf) & gRPC implementation using Go programming language (Golang) on microservice architecture

What you'll learn

What is Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) and how to use it for data communication

Protocol Buffers Schema Definition : data types, list, syntax, etc

Protocol Buffers Schema Evolution

Implement Protocol Buffers with Go programming language

Implement 4 types of gRPC API using Golang : unary, server streaming, client streaming, and bi-directional

Use PostgreSQL database with gorm : Go Object Relational Mapping (ORM)

Use Hexagon Software Architecture (Port & Adapters) to build bank application on top of gRPC API with Golang

Building resilient gRPC : using timeout / deadline, retry, and circuit breaker

gRPC error handling, status codes, metadata, interceptor

gRPC - REST API gateway

Generate OpenAPI documentation for gRPC API

Requirements

Basic Go programming language is required. This is NOT a fundamental Go course. You need to know about Go syntax, module, and package

Basic git and github knowledge is required : create repository, branch, pull, push, and merge. This is NOT basic git course

Familiarity with REST API and JSON will helps, but not mandatory

Description

This course is designed to help learners understand and implement Protocol Buffers (protobuf) and gRPC using the Go programming language on microservice architecture.The course is structured in a step-by-step manner, starting with an introduction to protobuf, its style guide, and course file structure. You will learn the theory behind various aspects of protobuf such as scalar types, repeated enum comments, protobuf JSON, nested message type, package, any, oneof, map, and schema evolution.The course also covers the implementation of gRPC and its integration with protobuf. You will learn about the grpc repository, grpc status, and error handling, resiliency server, timeout, retry, and circuit breaker. Additionally, the course covers the implementation of metadata server and client, server interceptor, client interceptor, gRPC gateway, and securing gRPC.Throughout the course, you will work on various hands-on codes that involve creating a banking application using gRPC and protobuf, as well as using PostgreSQL dataabse and Go Object Relational Mapper (ORM) to works with database. By the end of this course, you will have the skills and knowledge required to create microservices using gRPC and protobuf with the Go programming language.Requirements (must-have):Basic knowledge of the Go programming languageFamiliarity with git commands (push, pull, pull request, merge, branch)Tools:Go programming languageProtocol Buffers (protobuf)gRPCGithubVisual Studio Code (or any editor you like)The course delivered in lab-style teaching, where you are assigned with a task tobe solved. There will be a guidance for each task so you can try hands-on. If you stuck, you can jump to the full solution.The course contains 130+ lectures, which cover the following topics:Introduction to protobufWriting a protobuf (style guide)Scalar types, repeated enums, and Protobuf JSONOther message types, multiple files and import messages, nested message types, and packagesAny, oneof, and mapsReading and writing Protobuf to disk and JSONSchema evolution and additional data typesOption, field validation, and field number effect tipsIntroduction to gRPC and whether to use it or notProtobuf and gRPC repositoriesImplementing a unary server and client, server streaming, client streaming, and bidirectional streamingImplementing a bank gRPC application with database preparation, fetching exchange rates, and summarizing transactionsHandling gRPC status and errors, error handling on the client side, and resiliency techniques such as timeout, retry, and circuit breakerImplementing metadata, server and client interceptors, and a gRPC gatewaySecuring gRPC with server, client, and REST gatewayBy the end of the course, you will have gained a thorough understanding of how to implement Protocol Buffers and gRPC using the Go programming language. You will learned how to write Protobuf style guides, organize Protobuf course file structures, and work with scalar types, repeated enums, maps, any, oneof, and nested message types. They will also have learned how to read and write Protobuf to disk and JSON, handle schema evolution, and use additional data types.Furthermore, students will have gained hands-on experience in implementing various types of gRPC services, including unary, server streaming, client streaming, and bidirectional streaming. They will also have learned how to handle gRPC status and errors, implement resiliency techniques such as timeout, retry, and circuit breaker, and secure gRPC with server, client, and REST gateway.In other words, you will have gained practical skills and knowledge that you can apply to building robust and scalable microservices using Protocol Buffers and gRPC with the Go programming language.
