Blog: Building gRPC services with bazel and rules_protobuf

gRPC makes it easier to build high-performance microservices by providing generated service entrypoints in a variety of different languages.

It does this by: Building protoc (the protocol buffer compiler) and all the necessary protoc-gen-* plugins.
