10-grpc-bidi-streaming

Golang gRPC bidirectional streaming example

• client sends random numbers to server
• server receives number and sends it back if the number greater than all previous numbers
• both client and serever handle context errors (try to close client during send)

Requirements

• go 1.12
• protobuf installed
• go support for protobuf installed

Installation

MacOS

brew install go
brew install protobuf
go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

Make sure protoc-gen-go added in PATH

Linux

TBD

Complie

make all

It should create two binaries server and client

Use

Start server ./server and in other terminal start ./client

Client output example:

./client
