Consulting That Delivers Working Systems
Every gRPC Pro engagement starts with a clear deliverable: a system that works correctly in production, performs under load, and can be maintained by your team after we leave. We do not write reports that sit in shared drives. We write code, review architectures, and transfer knowledge through hands-on collaboration.
Architecture Design and Review
Greenfield gRPC systems have enormous flexibility, which means early decisions about service boundaries, shared proto libraries, versioning strategy, and transport security have long-lasting consequences. gRPC Pro architects have designed distributed systems across financial services, logistics, developer tooling, and cloud infrastructure. We bring pattern recognition from dozens of real-world deployments to help you avoid the architectural decisions that look sensible early but create enormous friction at scale.
REST-to-gRPC Migration
Migrating an existing REST API to gRPC without downtime requires a phased approach. We start by designing proto schemas that faithfully represent your existing API surface while taking advantage of Protocol Buffer ergonomics. The migration then proceeds service by service, with gRPC-HTTP transcoding via Envoy allowing old REST clients to continue working against new gRPC backends. We handle the sequencing, tooling, and validation so your team can keep shipping features throughout the migration.
Performance Audits
Unexpected latency in gRPC services usually has identifiable root causes: missing connection pooling, misconfigured keepalives, synchronous blocking in handlers, inefficient proto layouts for hot paths, or load balancing configurations that create hotspots. Our audit process combines load testing with ghz, profiling with pprof, and distributed tracing analysis to pinpoint bottlenecks and quantify the improvement potential before we recommend any changes.
Protobuf Schema Governance
Proto schema governance becomes critical once multiple teams share a proto repository. We establish review processes, configure buf lint and buf breaking in CI, design field reservation conventions, and document the rules clearly enough that your teams follow them without needing consultants in every code review. Schema governance is infrastructure: invest in it early and it pays dividends indefinitely.
Engagement Models
We offer focused engagements ranging from a two-day architecture review to multi-month embedded advisory. All engagements are scoped with clear objectives and measurable outcomes. Contact us below to discuss your specific situation and find the right model for your team.
