Discover the overlooked flaws of gRPC and how to tackle them using cutting-edge techniques from Contract-Driven Development (#CDD). Here are 3 key insights from this video:

gRPC Schema Enforcement: Explore the type-safe contracts and backward/forward compatibility offered by gRPC's protobuf definitions, and understand their limitations in real-world applications.

Real-time Contract Validation: Learn how using libraries like buf validate can enhance your gRPC experience by enforcing mandatory parameters, ensuring your API does not generate ambiguous data.

Automated Contract Testing: Witness the transformative power of tools like Specmatic that automatically generate and run contract tests, ensuring your proto files stay in sync with the actual implementation and prevent surprising and expensive failures for API consumers.
