Here’s what you need to know when it comes to SPDY and HTTP/2 on Google Cloud Platform.

As you can imagine, performance and security are two requirements at the core of stakes in our cloud age.

 

Therefore, Connectikpeople.co encourages developers to be performance-conscious and leverage the performance and security benefits of the HTTP/2 protocol in their applications.

Henceforth with HTTP/2 finalized (RFC 7540, RFC 7541) and, Google servers offer full HTTP/2 support.

When it comes to HTTP/2 on Google Cloud Platform, Connectikpeople.co can observe that:

1.     Your application must run over HTTPS. Support for the HTTP/2 protocol is automatically negotiated as part of the TLS handshake via ALPN.

2.     The server terminating the secure HTTPS connection must support ALPN and HTTP/2 protocols. If either side does not support the new HTTP/2 protocol then they fallback to HTTP/1.1.
