Summary

DigitalOcean App Platform now supports HTTP/2, enabling faster and more efficient cloud-native apps. This technology introduces multiplexing, allowing multiple requests to be sent over a single connection, significantly improving performance and reducing latency. gRPC (gRPC Remote Procedure Call) is an open-source framework that works over HTTP/2, providing high-performance RPC for distributed systems and microservices. It offers features such as high performance, efficiency, streaming capabilities, cross-language support, and the ability to handle large-scale distributed services. To use gRPC on DigitalOcean App Platform, developers need to configure their application to use HTTP/2 transport, setting the protocol field in the respective service to HTTP2. This enables faster deployment of modern, cloud-native systems.
