Pros

Efficient communication: gRPC uses Protocol Buffers for serialization, resulting in smaller payloads and faster transmission.

Bidirectional streaming: gRPC supports bidirectional streaming, enabling real-time communication between server and client.

Language-agnostic: gRPC supports multiple programming languages, making it easy to integrate with different parts of your system.

Scalable: gRPC is built on top of HTTP/2, which offers better performance and allows for multiplexing multiple requests over a single connection.

Cons

Complexity: gRPC can be more complex to set up and maintain compared to traditional REST APIs.

Limited browser support: gRPC does not work natively in web browsers, so you may need a proxy to handle communication between the browser and gRPC server.

Learning curve: Developers familiar with REST may need time to adapt to gRPC concepts and practices.
