I don't get the point of this article. What they achieved with the RAMEN service can easily be achieved by anyone using gRPC. At the very end of the article they even talk of a version 2 of their service which uses gRPC and seems promising. Realtime push technically exists in every chat app on your mobile phone, so it's not a great technical feat either. Am I missing something?
