gRPC

Q: How deeply does Designing Deep Learning Systems: A guide for software engineers cover gRPC?

Defines RPC methods and traces dataset creation, but stops short of explaining gRPC internals or framework configuration.

As explained in Designing Deep Learning Systems: A guide for software engineers

An open-source remote procedure call framework that enables communication between distributed services.

gRPC is a remote procedure call framework for communicating between distributed services. Its concise service definitions make it practical for exposing APIs without introducing unnecessary framework detail. section 2.2.3 section 3.1.1

A service declares callable methods with request and response types. A dataset management API uses CreateDataset, UpdateDataset, GetDatasetSummary, and ListDatasets, with the last method returning a stream of summaries. section 2.2.3

A production-oriented gRPC workflow can separate file transfer from service communication:

Upload data to cloud object storage and obtain a downloadable URL. section 2.2.3
Send the URL and dataset metadata in a CreateDataset request. section 2.2.3
Let the service download, transform, store, and summarize the data before returning a response. section 2.2.3

Dataset ingestion API

rpc CreateDataset (CreateDatasetRequest) returns (DatasetSummary); rpc UpdateDataset (CreateCommitRequest) returns (DatasetSummary); rpc GetDatasetSummary (DatasetPointer) returns (DatasetSummary); rpc ListDatasets (ListQueryOptions) returns (stream DatasetSummary).
