Performance-guaranteed RPC processing techniques in hundreds of MSA environments taught by Kakao and Toss developers

This course covers RPC communication techniques that maximize performance in large-scale MSA (Microservice Architecture) environments. Going beyond simple gRPC practice, you'll learn how to implement stable and efficient inter-service communication in real production environments where hundreds of microservices operate simultaneously. Based on Golang, the course covers Protocol Buffers (proto) syntax writing, automatic code generation and service implementation, gRPC structure and advantages over existing RPC, and performance optimization strategies with a practical focus. To ensure easy understanding for non-majors and server development beginners, the course provides step-by-step explanations from RPC concepts to gRPC's internal operating principles, enabling you to develop practical skills that can be immediately applied to real services.

What you will learn!

  • "Why is RPC Necessary?" – Understanding the Essence of High-Performance Communication Beyond REST

  • gRPC Complete Mastery – From Proto Design to Code Auto-generation and Real-world Service Development

  • The Secret to Supporting Hundreds of Microservices – Revealing Kakao's Performance Guarantee Strategy

What aspects should be considered to ensure optimization and performance in an MSA environment with hundreds of services? 🤔

❗This content is from an actual conversation.❗

😄 Hong : Looking for someone who has built MSA down to the core level by introducing gRPC

😁Kakao Developer : Me. Well, it's not that the entire company has adopted it, but some parts are communicating with gRPC, or as far as I know, other teams in the company also use just RPC or JSON-RPC

😁 Toss Developer: We're also using some of this. Well, since it's a protocol, we use WebSocket and naturally use RPC communication too. I think it depends on how you define the criteria for what constitutes the core level.

😄Hong: Yeah, I've been thinking a lot lately about what to consider from an architecture perspective and how to combine things. I feel like gRPC is something that must be introduced if you're going to implement MSA down to the core level

😄Kakao Developer : Right, I know that when traffic exploded at Google too, HTTP became impossible so they switched to using RPC. As services increase, network communication costs grow exponentially

😄Kakao Developer : The situation may vary by company, but when building MSA, it would be a bit disappointing not to use gRPC Of course, it naturally depends on the situation

😁 Toss Developer: Right, I agree with that too. It's just that we implemented everything with MSA while communicating via HTTP!! I think there are many people like this, but actually that's not a complete implementation

What parts did you understand and relate to from the previous conversation?? 🤔

While every company's situation is different, if you're building MSA and not using gRPC, it's a bit disappointing Of course, it naturally depends on the situation

We implemented everything as MSA while communicating via HTTP!! I think there are many people like this, but the truth is, that's not a complete implementation

What are your thoughts on these two topics? Do you understand why this subject came up in the context of MSA with hundreds of backend configurations?


The answer lies in network optimization using gRPC.

Traditional HTTP/1.1-based REST communication faces performance limitations in environments where hundreds of microservices interact due to header overhead, slow serialization/deserialization, and connection management issues. In contrast, gRPC provides multiplexing, header compression, and streaming capabilities based on HTTP/2, enabling much more efficient inter-service communication.

Additionally, by modularizing business logic into RPC units, each function can be independently separated, enabling fast calls and data transmission. When Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) and gRPC are used together, events between services can be delivered quickly and reliably, and network optimization as well as retry and failure handling can be managed at the platform level. In other words, even in situations where traffic surges, gRPC-based architecture simultaneously guarantees stability and performance, establishing itself as a core technology that can maximize service scalability and maintainability.


Rather than boring lectures that just list theories, I've prepared this as a practical guide that allows you to completely master the core features of gRPC-based design by examining the working processes together. 🚀

Features of this course

📌 Platforms actually introduced and used by senior developers in real-world practice

* Like the conversation content at the beginning, the course is structured around topics that are being used together with developers who work at Kakao and Toss. Through this, you can acquire the know-how of skilled developers.

📌 Rich course structure with approximately 50 diagrams and lecture summary files

* This isn't just a lecture that explains things with words alone, but also provides actual source code, diagrams, sequence diagrams, and additionally simple summary files of the lecture content.

📌 This isn't just talk about MSA.

* This is a course where you can get a glimpse into the process of what technologies are considered and introduced in the MSA architecture, and you can master why gRPC was introduced to solve the chronic problems of that architecture.

📌Lecture content that continues to be added based on your questions

The lectures will be continuously added to Chapter 8 based on the questions you ask. Whether they are questions about the lectures or unrelated questions, if you ask many questions, we will select useful ones and provide additional content on related topics exclusively to students for free.

I recommend this for these types of people 👨‍🏫

🎯 Non-CS major developer but curious about hundreds of MSAs from an architectural perspective

🎯 Junior developers who only know HTTP and don't know RPC communication

🎯 For those at startups/large companies who consider traffic scalability and compatibility

🎯 Not just "I implemented a simple MSA," but job seekers who want to consider these aspects and try implementing them

      I'm a developer working at Toss who has also participated in and helped with lectures. You absolutely must know about RPC communication. Many people say they've implemented MSA by simply implementing it with HTTP, but honestly, I don't agree with that. In fact, when I went to interviews in the past, whenever MSA architecture came up, they would invariably ask questions about RPC as well, which shows that RPC communication in MSA is one of the extremely important elements in terms of resource optimization and management. I hope this lecture will be of great help to you.

      This was incredibly beneficial content that could drive me crazy with excitement for development. Since it was about a topic that's generally hard to find and that I'm interested in, I'm so grateful that you provided this kind of lecture. I've often watched other lectures by the instructor, and I'll look forward to more in the future. Thank you so much.

      This was really beneficial content.. I'm so excited for other lectures and learned so much. To be specific: 1. I was able to understand why there are implementation limitations with HTTP in MSA. 2. I learned about RPC design that can handle various requirements from basic to advanced levels. 3. I became aware of the considerations needed when using RPC. 4. I was able to learn about content that's not easily known, such as connection optimization and connection reuse at the protocol level. Thank you so much for such a great lecture.

      I'm a developer who worked at Kakao and created this course together with Hong!! I think there are many people who can't properly explain the connection between RPC communication and MSA architecture, and don't understand the importance of their compatibility. If you can say "I've implemented MSA down to the core level," I believe you must be able to utilize RPC to optimize network-level resources and explain what aspects you improved in this process. I've prepared this course based on that topic, and I hope you'll find it very helpful after watching the course. Thank you!
