gRPC in Production

I'd say load balancing is still a big gRPC hurdle. See https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/load-balancing.... for the current official stance on load balancing. It's pretty convoluted IMO.

I agree. You kind of have to roll your own for every language you use which is odd. And retries. Hopefully some more standard way of handling this will emerge.

EDIT: I enjoyed the GopherCon talk... I don't think the video is up yet but when it is I recommend watching...

I like the approach of custom name resolver though. Pretty straight forward to build one e.g. backed by Consul.

IIRC on K8s there are some gRPC-aware load balancers, possibly Envoy, I forget.
