GRPC

At Rotational, we use gRPC quite a bit. It’s great for specifying network APIs, but can challenge us to find new ways to thoroughly test the code. Follow along with this post to learn two ways of using mocking to test gRPC services!

gRPC is an effective way of implementing service-to-service APIs. However, there are limited tools available for mocking and testing gRPC services out of the box. One option is to set up a live test server, although this comes with its own …

With almost 30 billion connected devices, this isn’t Al Gore’s internet anymore. Consider this: According to Cisco’s Annual Internet Report, there will be 29.3 billion internet-connected devices in 2023, or more than three for every human. …
