Seldon 1.4 adds GRPC – Seldon -- Open Source Machine Learning

In the 1.4 release of Seldon we have added an alpha release of gRPC endpoints to complement our REST and Javascript endpoints. Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) and Google's version of this (gRPC) provides several advantages over REST. However, gRPC may be unfamiliar to many and requires a certain expertise for the developer building a gRPC client or server. For the 1.4 release of Seldon we have added gRPC as an external prediction endpoint as well as allowing prediction microservices to be deployed as gRPC servers internal to Seldon. The stages to deploy a gRPC service are discussed in detail in our docs and our summarized below.
