Presenters Prasanna Sathyanarayana Source grpConf India 2025 From Microservices to AI: Celebrating 10 Years of gRPC 🚀 The air at gRPC Conf India was electric as Prasanna, gRPC Executive Sponsor and a decade-long fan of the technology, took the stage to celebrate a massive milestone. It has been 10 years since gRPC burst onto the scene in 2015, and in that decade, it has evolved from a Google-internal project into the backbone of modern distributed systems. ...

Presenters Anmol Krishan Sachdeva Paras Mamgain Indumathy Thiagarajan Source grpConf India 2025 Navigating the AI Highway: Choosing the Right Protocols for Real-time, Low-Latency Applications 🚀 Good afternoon, everyone! If you’re joining us after lunch, you know this slot can be tough, but we’re here to keep things exciting and insightful. Today, we’re diving deep into a fascinating challenge in the world of AI: how do we ensure our intelligent applications run with the lightning-fast speed and rock-solid reliability they demand? ...

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. ...

Presenters Pawan Bhardwaj Ashesh Vidyut Source grpConf India 2025 Agentic AI Needs a Smarter Network: Enter gRPC for Agent Mesh! 🚀 The world of Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving. We’re moving beyond simple prompt-and-response generative AI towards agentic AI, where intelligent agents perform complex tasks by coordinating with each other and utilizing various tools. But how do these agents communicate securely and efficiently? This is where networking protocols become crucial, and a new evolution is underway, with gRPC playing a pivotal role. ...

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. ...
