Protobuf

About

Is "ingesting Protobuf" a thing at all, or is it mostly about gRPC calls?

Details

Today we’re announcing protobuf-py, a Protocol Buffers library for Python written completely from scratch. It passes every binary and JSON case in the Protobuf conformance suite across proto2, proto3, and editions, and it supports extensions, custom options, unknown fields, dynamic messages, and well-known types. It generates readable, typed Python, has no runtime dependencies, and runs on pure Python 3.10+. With its Rust accelerator installed, it’s just as fast for production workloads as upb, the C engine Google’s Python package runs on.

OTLP has protobuf definitions, and AWS IoT Core also uses it. However others argue it wasn’t designed for performance.
