Nice idea to add gRPC.
Can someone from the gRPC team review this? @gnossen @ejona86 @thisisnotapril

@Sonichigo Thanks a lot for tackling this term and the effort you put in it. While it might be technically accurate I find it very complex to read. It references a lot of other technical terms, making it hard to understand for someone who is maybe not so much a technical person. Even if, it is not easy.
My encouragement is to double check on our styleguide: https://glossary.cncf.io/style-guide/ to understand how we want terms to be described ideally.
Please also pay attention to use semantic line breaks.
