Golang Grpc

This is a production-focused gRPC skill for Go that emphasizes the boring, important stuff you need when services talk to each other. It covers versioned protobuf APIs, proper error codes, interceptors, health checks, TLS, and testing patterns. The examples show real defaults like deadlines and structured error handling rather than hello-world demos. With 315 installs and passing security audits from three vendors, it's clearly being used in actual projects. If you're building service-to-service communication in Go and want guidance that doesn't skip the operational details, this gives you the patterns without making you figure out proto versioning schemes yourself.

Go gRPC (Production)

Overview

gRPC provides strongly-typed RPC APIs backed by Protocol Buffers, with first-class streaming support and excellent performance for service-to-service communication. This skill focuses on production defaults: versioned protos, deadlines, error codes, interceptors, health checks, TLS, and testability.

Quick Start

1) Define a versioned protobuf API

✅ Correct: versioned package

// proto/users/v1/users.proto
syntax = "proto3";

package users.v1;
option go_package = "example.com/myapp/gen/users/v1;usersv1";

service UsersService {
  rpc GetUser(GetUserRequest) returns (GetUserResponse);
  rpc ListUsers(ListUsersRequest) returns (stream User);
}

message GetUserRequest { string id = 1; }
message GetUserResponse { User user = 1; }
message ListUsersRequest { int32 page_size = 1; string page_token = 2; }

message User {
  string id = 1;
  string email = 2;
  string display_name = 3;
}

❌ Wrong: unversioned package (hard to evolve)
