    gRPC Name Resolution and Load Balancing on Kubernetes

    • DISCLAIMER: I make lots of mistakes on a daily basis! If you notice any, please let me know. This blog is a digest of many amazing blogs by amazing people. I’ll try to put a link to each one wherever possible. Also you can find links to all the references at the end of the blog as well as a Github Repo for a sample project regarding this subject.

  • grpc-go

    The Go language implementation of gRPC. HTTP/2 based RPC

    • We’re hoping to make this rate at least optional via this pull request but as the time of writing this blog, it’s nothing we can do to circle our way around it.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • grpc-proto

    gRPC-defined protobufs for peripheral services such as health checking, load balancing, etc.

    • The State which was returned by the name resolver in the previous steps contains both a list of endpoints and a configuration called ServiceConfig. One of the main use cases of the ServiceConfig is to decide which load balancing policy to go for (e.g. round_robin). ServiceConfig is based on a proto message but the name resolver returns it in JSON form. Let’s look at an example ServiceConfig:

  • gRPC

    The C based gRPC (C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)

    • The loadBalancingConfig is what we use in order to decide which policy to go for (round_robin in this case). This JSON representation is based on a protobuf message, then why does the name resolver returns it in the JSON format? The main reason is that loadBalancingConfig is a oneof field inside the proto message and so it can not contain values unknown to the gRPC if used in the proto format. The JSON representation does not have this requirement so we can use a custom loadBalancingConfig .
