My perspective stems from working with it in backend services as well. The type safety and the declarative nature of protobufs are nice, but writing clients and servers isn’t. The tooling is rough, and the documentation is sparse. Not saying REST doesn’t have its fair share of faults, but gRPC feels like a weird niche thing that’s hard to use for anything public-facing. No wonder none of the LLM vendors offer gRPC as an alternative to REST.
