Protobuf has evolved from a wire format protocol into a single source-of-truth for API design. In this session I'll share my go-to stack for building reliable microservices by combining:

• gRPC for high-performance, schema-driven RPCs
• gRPC-Web or gGRPC transcoding or connectrpc for browser support
• Buf to format, lint, vendor, and detect breaking changes before they hit prod
• Google AIP rules for naming, pagination, long-running ops, and more
• Api-linter to enforce linting rules automatically in every pull request
• protovalidate for schema validation
• Other useful extensions.
