Comparing HTTP and RPC

This is not specifically about Mu. Very often our microservices architectures are based on HTTP with JSON serialization, but perhaps it is not the best glue to connect them, and RPC services might be a better fit.

Metrifier is a project where we compare, in different bounded ecosystems, HTTP and RPC. We found that RPC is usually faster than HTTP + JSON. If you’re interested in learning more, we encourage you to take a look at the documentation.

If you want to dive deeper into Mu, we have a complete example in the examples repo, which is based on the Route Guide Demo originally shared by the gRPC Java Project.
