Should You Use gRPC Instead of REST? | Issue #29

Published about 1 year ago • 3 min read

Hi there,
​

This week, I’m diving into a topic that’s causing a bit of a stir among software architects—gRPC!
​

Many developers still lean heavily on REST, but gRPC is an exciting alternative, especially when speed and performance are top priorities. 🚀
​

In this week’s video, I’ll go through everything you need to know about gRPC and how it compares to REST. From HTTP/2 streaming and protocol buffers to its pros and caveats, this video is designed to help you decide whether gRPC has a place in your projects.
​

I even built a sample project to showcase how gRPC works in action, covering both internal and external service communication, and yes, even the tricky parts with HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2
​
Enjoy the video and happy coding!

​

Cheers,

Arjan

If you’ve ever opened a function and instantly regretted it… this week’s video is for you. I’m talking about those legendary functions: ten levels of indentation, contradictory conditions, duplicate branches, mysterious try/except blocks, and business logic so unclear that nobody knows what it actually does anymore. I start with a really messy example and walk through the exact process I use to refactor it safely. You’ll see how to create characterization tests so you don’t break existing...

Have you ever written a Python script that felt slow, even though the logic was simple? Sometimes it’s not the efficiency of your code that's the problem, it’s when your code does its work. This week’s video is all about the Lazy Loading design pattern, and I think many developers underestimate how powerful (and practical) it is. I start with a real example: loading a huge CSV file that freezes your program for 10 seconds before doing anything useful. Then, step by step, we improve it using:...

If your code is hard to test, hard to reuse, and hard to change, you’re probably hardcoding your dependencies. It’s one of the most common architectural problems I see in Python code, even in production systems. In this week's video, I take a small but realistic example, a data pipeline that loads, transforms, and exports some records, and show you how Dependency Injection can turn it from a rigid mess into something clean, testable, and modular. No frameworks required. You’ll learn: Why...
