klolos / grpc-gevent Goto Github PK

This is an example repository showing what happens if you use gevent with grpc, and demonstrating that running grpc calls in a gevent.threadpool allows gevent to run normally.

You can run make setup, or read the Makefile and copy the directions there as you see fit.

In one terminal:

$ go run server.go

In another terminal:

$ python client.py

Note that python client.py plain will attempt to use gevent with grpc and just be synchronous (taking >50 s), whereas the default python client.py uses the gevent threadpool to actually do concurrent grpc requests and finishes in ~10 seconds.
