gRPC is a modern open source high performance RPC framework being developed (mostly) at Google following a fully open source model. In this talk I'll go over the challenges we faced -both technically and organizationally- in developing an open source project at a big corporation, balancing the internal proprietary use with the external open source, in addition to having to support many different platforms, not just the few official ones internally supported.
