gRPC provides a pretty compelling look at what is next. I'd say some of the stops along the API lifecycle are pretty forward leaning. I'd also say there are some clear opportunities present here when it comes to database, testing, and other areas. I am interested in the tooling being developed to support gRPC APIs, but more I am very interested in these different stops along the API lifecycle that are being serviced using open source tooling. This only reflects what is published to GitHub, but I think it does provide a pretty compelling look at what the future of APIs looks like.
