GRPC Clients

In order to talk to a - not in process - factstore (which is the usual setup for non-test applications), GRPC is the communication protocol used.

Using FactCast client in Spring boot via GRPC

If you use Spring take the easy path in your Spring Boot Application by adding the appropriate dependencies to your application:

   <dependency>
     <groupId>org.factcast</groupId>
     <artifactId>factcast-client-grpc</artifactId>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
     <groupId>org.factcast</groupId>
     <artifactId>factcast-spring-boot-autoconfigure</artifactId>
   </dependency>
