GRPC Calls for Node.js

This module is a part of the Pip.Services polyglot microservices toolkit.

The grpc module is used to organize synchronous data exchange using calls through the gRPC protocol. It has implementations of both the server and client parts.

The module contains the following packages:

• Build - factories for creating gRPC services
• Clients - basic client components that use the gRPC protocol and Commandable pattern through gRPC
• Services - basic service implementations for connecting via the gRPC protocol and using the Commandable pattern via gRPC
