Recently I started delving into gRPC vs RPC over RabbitMq using json as the mesage format. I saw that for small to medium sized messages, gRPC is actually slower. Of course, this was just a small scale experiment so I don't think nothing of it.

Does anyone have a sort of infrastructure/architecture guide at a bigger scale for gRPC?

My biggest questions range from: How do you actually load balance the servers? What happens if you have a sudden influx of requests but don't want to auto-scale? Do you still need a sort of queue-ing system in front of the gRPC server?

In my research I wasn't able to find some noteworthy articles about this and thus triggered my curiosity.
