gRPC-Web Should Have Fixed gRPC
gRPC-Web was developed to address issues stemming from gRPC's tight coupling with HTTP/2. However, it introduced complexity instead of simplicity.
gRPC transformed Protocol Buffers into a vital API design tool but became overly dependent on its HTTP/2 transport model, leading to challenges for browser JavaScript. gRPC-Web was created to address this issue, yet its deployment often required a proxy, adding complexity. The next version of gRPC should embrace standard HTTP request-response semantics for unary calls, simplifying the protocol without unnecessary complications.
