Google claims gRPC with protobuf yields a 10-11x performance improvement over HTTP. I am skeptical of those numbers because really it comes down to the frequency of data parsing into and out of the protobuf format.
At any rate just use JSON with WebSockets. Its stupid simple and still 7-8x faster than HTTP with far less administrative overhead than either HTTP or gRPC.
