▲ 7 ▼ Take a REST with HTTP/2, Protobufs, and Swagger

At CoreOS we build and maintain a number of API-driven services across different domains, for example: container images in Quay, key/values in etcd, and cluster orchestration in Kubernetes. We’re always looking for ways to make designing and building these APIs simpler and more efficient. In this post we explore a new Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework based on protobufs and HTTP/2 called gRPC, that we think can make building and consuming APIs better.
