gRPC [Java] Master Class: Build Modern API and Microservices - Server Setup Boilerplate Code

This tutorial guides you through setting up a basic GRPC server in Java using IntelliJ. It covers creating a Java package and class, writing basic code, setting up the server with a specific port, handling exceptions, and managing server shutdown. The tutorial emphasizes eliminating boilerplate code and ensuring the server runs and shuts down correctly.

What is the primary focus of setting up a GRPC server with no services?

• To deploy the server to production

• To handle multiple client requests

• To ensure code is imported and boilerplate is removed

• To implement complex business logic

What is the first step in creating a GRPC server in Java?

• Writing complex algorithms

• Creating a new Java class

• Setting up a database connection

• Deploying the server

Which port is commonly used to start a GRPC server?

• 8080

• 50051

• 3306

• 443

What is the purpose of adding exceptions to the method signature?

• To ignore errors

• To reduce code size

• To improve performance

• To handle unhandled exceptions

Why is it important to implement a shutdown hook in a GRPC server?

• To increase server speed

• To handle shutdown requests properly

• To reduce server load

• To add more services

What does the 'await termination' method ensure in a GRPC server?

• The server runs in the background

• The server blocks the main thread until shutdown

• The server starts immediately

• The server handles multiple clients

What happens when a shutdown request is received by the server?

• The server restarts automatically

• The server ignores the request

• The server shuts down and stops

• The server logs the request but continues running
