Learn how you can configure Gloo Edge to route requests to gRPC upstreams.

• About the gRPC API: Learn about the gRPC framework, its benefits, and how gRPC transcoding works.

• Set up routing to gRPC services: Use a demo app to explore how to set up routing to a gRPC upstream in Gloo Edge.

• Transcode HTTP requests to gRPC: Explore gRPC transcoding and learn how to annotate your proto files with HTTP rules. You can then configure Gloo Edge to accept incoming HTTP requests and transform them into gRPC requests.

• Transcoding reference: Find examples for how to annotate your proto files with HTTP rule mappings so that Gloo Edge can correctly transform incoming HTTP requests.
