gRPC Integration & Containerization Update for Analytics Application
What developments have taken place today?
This commit introduces gRPC-based communication for the analyticsforwebsite application. It includes the creation of protobuf definitions defining a simple greeting service, alongside server and client implementations utilizing gRPC. A Docker configuration has been established to facilitate consistent deployment of both the gRPC server and client within containerized environments. Furthermore, Git configurations have been added to streamline development workflows inside the containers, including SSH key management and Go module version updates (to 1.22.0) along with a specific protoc compiler version (1.36.6). The changes provide structured data exchange between application components and simplify deployment through containerization.
These improvements are significant because they establish a standardized, efficient, and easily manageable method for inter-component communication within the analyticsforwebsite application. Utilizing gRPC with Docker containers ensures scalability, maintainability, and consistent operational practices across development and production environments.
