Transfering large date set

[V R]

Hello,

I am working with large images and large meshes in  medical field and I need to transfer and serialize those objects directly.

I read here https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/techniques that "Protocol Buffers are not designed to handle large messages. As a general rule of thumb, if you are dealing in messages larger than a megabyte each, it may be time to consider an alternate strategy." Does that mean that I can't use gRPC to transfer a mesh with e.g., 2MBytes ?

Thank you

Hi V R,

Two MB should be fine. Many large production services send individual gRPC messages in the 1 to 20 MB size range. Above that, I would recommend chunking the data across multiple messages and the use of streaming RPCs.
