gRPC & RPC

gRPC Reflection

A gRPC service extension that allows clients to discover available services and methods at runtime without prior knowledge of the .proto definitions. Tools like grpcurl and Postman use reflection to explore gRPC APIs dynamically. Reflection is the gRPC equivalent of an OpenAPI spec endpoint — it makes services self-describing. It should typically be disabled in production to avoid exposing internal service structure to external clients.
