Explanation

gRPC architectural style has promising features that can (and should) be explored. It is an excellent option for working with multi-language systems, real-time streaming, and for instance, when operating an IoT system that requires light-weight message transmission such as the serialized Protobuf messages allow. Moreover, gRPC should also be considered for mobile applications since they do not need a browser and can benefit from smaller messages, preserving mobiles' processors' speed.
