    I built GRPCMicroService to give developers a ready‑to‑run Micronaut project for Java gRPC services. It includes a greeter service, client, .proto files, Maven setup, tests and docs so you can explore and adapt it quickly. Let me know what works well and what could be improved 😊

##Build Java gRPC services without starting from scratch## GRPCMicroService is a ready-to-use starter kit for developers who want to build gRPC microservices with Java 21, Micronaut 4, and Maven. Instead of assembling the project structure, configuring dependencies, and setting up Protocol Buffers from scratch, you can start with a working example and focus on understanding and developing your service. ##What's included## - A working gRPC Greeter service and client - Protocol Buffers (.proto) definitions - Maven build and code generation configuration - Micronaut application configuration - Automated tests and technical documentation ##Designed for Eclipse## Download the package, unzip it, import the project into Eclipse, and start exploring the code. Build, run, test, and debug your service in a familiar Java development environment. ##Who is it for?## Java developers learning gRPC, engineers exploring Micronaut, and anyone looking for a practical starting point for a new Java microservice. ##Quick free Start Guide## https://frekost.github.io/grpc-micronaut-starter-kit/quick-start/ ##Get the complete starter kit## --> https://frekost.gumroad.com/l/grpc2micronaut GRPCMicroService is a paid software starter kit. Use and modification are subject to the included license terms.
