gRPC Streaming

gRPC supports four call patterns — unary, server streaming, client streaming, and bidirectional streaming — all carried over HTTP/2. gRPC streams are widely used for internal service-to-service realtime communication, with gRPC-Web bridging to browsers and Connect protocol providing buf.build's HTTP/JSON-friendly alternative.
