Remote and language-agnostic API using gRPC and NI LabVIEW
gRPC is a modern, open source remote procedure call (RPC) framework that can run anywhere. It enables client and server applications to communicate transparently, and makes it easier to build connected systems. It is a perfect match for microservices or independent LabVIEW modules to enable interprocess communication. In this presentation we will be looking at core gRPC principles and how you can create a gRPC server with LabVIEW using an open-source project from NI (grpc-labview). Along the way we will discuss other use-cases and scenarios where gRPC can be useful.
