gRPC vs REST: Choosing the Right Protocol for Internal Services

A practical comparison of gRPC and REST for service-to-service communication. When binary protocols outperform JSON and where REST still wins.

What we learned moving our entire platform to k8s over 14 months — the wins, the failures, and what we'd do differently today.

How we implemented zero-trust networking across our infrastructure. mTLS, SPIFFE identities, and policy engines explained with real configs.

Forget generic advice. Here are the specific configs, index strategies, and query patterns that cut our P99 latency by 80%.

Our journey from weekly releases to continuous deployment. Feature flags, canary releases, and the cultural shifts that made it possible.

Our Node.js gateway handled 10K rps. We needed 200K. Here's why we picked Go over Rust, and how the migration went with zero downtime.
