About

RPC is a new and modern framework for building scalable, modern, and fast APIs. It is leveraged by many top tech companies such as Google, Square, and Netflix and enables programmers to write microservices in any language they want while keeping the ability to easily communicate between these services. It relies on protocol buffers as the transport mechanism and the Service Definition Language.
