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. ...
