I'm writing an article about GRPC and protobufs. Here is the thing I'd like to know:
What tools to you use for making GRPC requests?
Like if you just want to test that a service is up and taking requests? I'd like a command line one that is simple to use and install and wondering what people use.

Postman recently started supporting grpc.

Didn't know that, as I'm about to be doing a lot more with gRPC, I check it out soon.

Yes I posted a link in the postman blog that talks aboutblog.postman.com/postman-now-suppo...

I use it personally but not professionally. I have brought it up at work and aside from the closed minded responses, rest is just where my department is at right now.
As far as tools go, I have a few things stared on git hub to check out(below), but have not tryed any yet.
github.com/gogo/letmegrpc
github.com/fullstorydev/grpcui
github.com/gusaul/grpcox
Postman beta now has grpc support.
So far I have just written little go services to act as the other side instead of using tools, but remember I just use it for fun becuase I like it.

Wow, thanks!
I'll check these out

Postman has started supporting gRPC might want to check that.
Would surely want to know when do you find gRPC useful ?

I wrote a couple of posts about gRPC testing tooling for various situations - hope you find this useful

This is great! Exactly the type of thing I'm looking for.

I've asked my coworkers and they recommend BloomRPC, which looks great but isn't a CLI app

If I were coding in golang I probably would, but from python there's a lot of redband the last time I checked.
