Server Streaming
Deep dive into gRPC server-side streaming with ListOrders and SearchProducts examples, implementation patterns, and backpressure handling.
Server-side streaming is the most commonly used streaming pattern. The client sends a single request, and the server responds with a stream of messages. This is ideal for large result sets, real-time data feeds, and progress reporting.
How It Works
The client opens a connection and sends one request message. The server processes the request and sends back zero or more response messages. The stream ends when the server sends a trailing status (OK or an error). The client reads messages from the stream until it receives the end signal.
ListOrders - Paginated Streaming
ListOrders demonstrates server streaming with cursor-based pagination. The client can request the next page by passing the page_token from the trailing metadata.
SearchProducts - Filtered Streaming
SearchProducts combines full-text search with streaming delivery. Results are ordered by relevance and streamed as they become available from the search engine.
