This Go application is built on the power of gRPC to enable a client-server architecture. It offers two essential methods: GetUserById and GetUserListByIds for efficient retrieval of user data. What makes this application unique is the utilization of bidirectional streaming, allowing real-time communication between clients and the server.

• Go (1.20 or later)
• Docker (for containerization)
• Postman or any gRPC client tool for testing

You can get this application up and running with just one command, assuming you have Docker installed.

docker run -it -p 3001:3001 rahul0409/totality-assignment

Follow these steps to run and test the gRPC application.

Clone the repository using the command

git clone https://github.com/rahulgupta0409/totality-assignment.git

cd totality-assignment

Build the Docker image for the application.

docker build -t totality-assignment .

Run a Docker container based on the image, mapping the gRPC service port (e.g., 3001) to a port on your host machine (e.g., 3001).

docker run -p 3001:3001 totality-assignment 

Use a gRPC client (e.g., BloomRPC, grpcurl) or Postman to connect to the gRPC service.

• Method 1: GetUserById Request: Send a gRPC request to localhost:3001 with the GetUserById method. Provide a User_Id to retrieve a specific user.

{
    "User_Id" : 1
}

• Method 2: GetUserListByIds Request: Send a gRPC request to localhost:3001 with the GetUserListByIds method. Provide an array of User_Id to retrieve multiple users.

{
   "UserRequestList": [{"UserId":1}, {"UserId":3}, {"UserId":2},  {"UserId":18}]
}

Special thanks to the gRPC community for their support and resources.
