The definitive gRPC book — written by core contributors. Covers protobuf design, code generation, streaming patterns, and deployment in Go and Java with real-world examples.

Written by engineers who built gRPC tooling in production, this is a leaner alternative to "gRPC: Up and Running" — same ground (protobuf, streaming, contracts vs. REST/JSON) in a shorter, more example-driven format. A good second source if the O'Reilly book's pacing feels slow.
