Explore a conference talk from Meeting C++ 2023 that delves into using gRPC C++ in a more generic way for modernizing legacy codebases and connecting monolithic applications. Learn how to effectively implement service-oriented designs, abstract gRPC details, decouple service implementation from definition, and eliminate dependencies. Discover strategies for leveraging Google's RPC framework to enhance componentization and decoupling in growing codebases, addressing the challenges of evolving from monolithic architectures to more modular, interconnected systems.
