Beyond Deploy: Unlocking gRPC's Superpowers on Cloud Run - Eshita Chandwani & Pranjali Saxena

Presenters Eshita Chandwani Pranjali Saxena Source grpConf India 2025 Bridging the Gap: How gRPC Powers Serverless in the Cloud Service Mesh 🚀 The term serverless is perhaps the most misleading name in cloud computing. Let’s clear the air: there are still servers. We haven’t figured out how to run code on pure magic just yet! What serverless actually means is that you—the developer—are no longer responsible for managing that infrastructure. ...

Keynote: What's New in gRPC? - Ashish Srivastava, Google

Presenters Ashish Srivastava Source grpConf India 2025 🚀 The Future of gRPC: AI, Rust, and the Proxyless Revolution Welcome to the dawn of a new era for gRPC. At the first-ever gRPC Conf, Ashish Srivastava, Engineering Manager at Google, unveiled a roadmap that transforms gRPC from a high-performance RPC framework into the backbone of the modern cloud-native and AI-driven world. The strategy rests on three pillars: Modernization: Evolving the core to align with cloud-native builds, including gRPC Rust and MCP transport. Service Mesh & XDS: Advancing a world of proxyless service meshes where discovery, load balancing, and security are policy-driven. Observability: Investing in the philosophy that you cannot improve what you cannot see through advanced metrics and tracing. 🤖 gRPC: The Heart of the AI Ecosystem The AI landscape is exploding, and gRPC sits right at the intersection. Two protocols have recently dominated the conversation: the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol. ...
