RestVsgRpc

A repository containing a deployable client/server sample for REST and gRPC using Java for comparison and demonstration purposes.

The goal is to publish 100 entites to a database, and GET the entity after creating it, resulting in roughly 200 entities being written and read from a remote database over a RESTful interface, as well as a gRPC interface.

TODO

• Define shared spec that REST API and gRPC will test with (moderate size)
• Rest API server with GET/POST endpoints
• Rest API client that calls itself
• Rest API client takes CLI args to target
• Rest API client is wrapped in timer, prints out result time

---

• gRPC server with accept/read endpoints
• gRPC client that calls itself
• gRPC client that takes CLI args to target
• gRPC client is wrapped in timer, prints out result time

---

• Build script results in runnable binary

• Deploy in remote EC2, call from local and test timing to do X requests

• Run many intervals and document

• Docker configuration that will deploy postgres instance both apps will connect to using their respective DB connection strategies.

• Add writeup into seperate README file

• Write article for publish with simple results
