SD Times news digest: gRPC Kotlin 1.0 for Android and Cloud, Cloudflare Pages, and Digital.ai’s VSM patents

Google has announced version 1.0 of gRPC Kotlin for Android and Cloud. gRPC is an open-source universal RPC framework. 

“Kotlin is now the fourth “most loved” programming language with millions of developers using it for Android, server-side / cloud backends, and various other target runtimes. At Google, we’ve been building more of our apps and backends with Kotlin to take advantage of its expressiveness, safety, and excellent support for writing asynchronous code with coroutines,” Google’s software engineer Louis Wasserman and developer advocate James Ward wrote in a blog post

The project builds on protocol buffers, adds the network protocol, generates clients and server status with the Flow API, and works with Android clients and GraalVM native image clients. 

Cloudflare Pages released for next-generation web development
Cloudflare Pages is a next-generation JAMstack platform for front-end developers and businesses. According to the company, it focuses on security, scalability and performance, and provides a better way to build and collaborate on websites. 

“From day one Cloudflare was built to service developers. Over the last ten years, millions of developers have counted on us for our network performance and security services. With Cloudflare Pages, we’re now providing them with a scalable, fast, secure, cost-effective platform to build next-generation applications that they can deploy globally,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder & CEO of Cloudflare. “Internally, we believe it’s only a matter of time before an individual developer builds a billion-dollar company on their own. We hope Cloudflare Pages will provide the building blocks to help make our belief a reality.”

2022: The year of hybrid work
