Do Son Recently, NGINX announced on its blog that NGINX has completed native support for gRPC and will provide it for use in a version 1.13.10. If you can’t wait for your early adopters, you can download a snapshot to experience it. You can also give feedback to the development team.
The next NGINX release will introduce support for gRPC and HTTP/2 server push.
With gRPC support, NGINX can proxy gRPC TCP connections, and it can also terminate, inspect, and track gRPC method calls. You can:
- Publish a gRPC service, and then use NGINX to apply HTTP/2 TLS encryption, rate limits, IP‑based access control lists, and logging. You can operate the service using unencrypted HTTP/2 (h2c cleartext) or wrap TLS encryption and authentication around the service.
- Publish multiple gRPC services through a single endpoint, using NGINX to inspect and route calls to each internal service. You can even use the same endpoint for other HTTPS and HTTP/2 services, such as websites and REST‑based APIs.
- Load balance a cluster of gRPC services, using Round Robin, Least Connections, or other methods to distribute calls across the cluster. You can then scale your gRPC‑based service when you need additional capacity.
