How Protobuf Works—The Art of Data Encoding
Protocol Buffers is faster and smaller than JSON, but the interesting part is understanding why. This article breaks down the encoding techniques that make Protobuf efficient, backed by benchmark results and practical examples
How HTTP/2 Works and How to Enable It in Go
HTTP/2 solves head-of-line blocking at the application layer by multiplexing multiple streams over a single TCP connection. While HTTP/1.1 requires requests to be processed sequentially, HTTP/2 allows parallel processing through independent streams, each with its own ID. The Go standard library supports HTTP/2 out of the box when using HTTPS, and with some configuration, it can work over plain HTTP too
From net/rpc to gRPC in Go Applications
The net/rpc package in Go demonstrates basic RPC concepts by establishing TCP connections between clients and servers, using sequence numbers to match requests with responses, and supporting both gob (Go-specific) and JSON codecs for data serialization. While net/rpc is simpler and limited to Go services by default, gRPC offers advanced features like HTTP/2 streaming, cross-language support, and better performance
