### Notes:
- I tested sending the same struct in both gRPC and HTTP and made simple benchmarks recording their response times.
- There are some benchmark tests in `request_benchmark_test.go` file. You can run them with `go test -bench=. -benchtime=1000x -benchmem`. There are 2 tests as `BenchmarkServer` and `BenchmarkServer_NewClientEachRequest`. I tested that what if it creates new gRPC connection for each request or use a single one for all requests. According to the results of those benchmarks, creating new connection for each request is not efficient for gRPC while it loses advantages of itself.
- Results may change by runs but gRPC was always better in my results.
- This test may not accurately reflect reality, or they may have wrong implementations etc. If you think there are some issues you can open an issue or contribute directly.
## Run benchmarks
#### Generate plots:
> Draws plots for grpc and http benchmarks
usage: `go run cmd/benchmark/plots/plots.go `
```bash
go run cmd/benchmark/plots/plots.go 1000 20
```
Last run results:
#### gRPC benchmark:
> Prints time values in array
usage: `go run cmd/benchmark/grpc/main.go `
```bash
go run cmd/benchmark/grpc/main.go 1000 20
```
#### HTTP benchmark:
> Prints time values in array
usage: `go run cmd/benchmark/http/main.go `
```bash
go run cmd/benchmark/http/main.go 1000 20
```
## Run server/client
#### gRPC server:
```bash
go run cmd/grpc/server/server.go
```
#### gRPC client:
```bash
go run cmd/grpc/client/client.go
```
#### HTTP server:
```bash
go run cmd/http/server/server.go
```
#### HTTP client:
```bash
go run cmd/http/client/client.go
```
