This document discusses using Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) and GRPC to boost Python web apps. It begins by explaining why JSON is popular but has limitations. Protobuf provides benefits like binary encoding for smaller size and support for HTTP/2. The key steps to use Protobuf with Python are installing the protoc compiler and generating Python class files from .proto schema files. The document teases additional upcoming slides on working with a real-world example, introducing GRPC, and building GRPC servers and clients in Python using Protobuf to scale microservices.
