Building a GraphQL and gRPC System on NextJS and NestJS
Introduction GraphQL and gRPC are two powerful and popular communication technologies today. While GraphQL optimizes data transmission between Client and Server by allowing the Client to query exactly what it needs, gRPC is an ideal solution for communication between Microservices thanks to its superior performance, based on the HTTP/2 protocol and the Protocol Buffers binary format. The combination of this duo brings comprehensive optimization from the user interface layer to the core backend system. Using modern packages from @bufbuild and @connectrpc brings many outstanding advantages compared to the traditional library @grpc/grpc-js: Comprehensive Typescript support: Automatically generates safe type files (Type-safe) intuitively, helping the coding process to be error-free and providing excellent code suggestions (IntelliSense). Perfect compatibility with HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2: No need to configure complex proxies like Envoy to connect from the browser or restricted environments, th...
