🧩 gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call) is a high-performance framework that allows two programs (clients & servers) to communicate with each other efficiently — even if they’re written in different languages or running on different machines.

Think of it as:

🎯 Full Form

👉 gRPC = Google Remote Procedure Call

It was developed by Google and is now an open-source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) — the same foundation behind Kubernetes 🧠.

🌍 Simple Explanation

When one program wants another program to do something, it can use Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) — like saying:

“Hey server, run this function for me and send me the result!”

With gRPC, this communication is:

• Fast ⚡

• Secure 🔒

• Language-independent 🌐

• Efficient 🧠

🧰 Common Use Cases

🔍 gRPC vs REST API

🧾 In Context (Your Code Example)

In your earlier code:

asyncio.get_running_loop()

was required because gRPC (used by GoogleGenerativeAIEmbeddings) depends on asynchronous event loops to communicate efficiently.

✅ gRPC helps:

• Handle multiple embedding requests at once

• Reduce latency

• Maintain a stable connection with Google servers
