The announcement covers bugfixes, new binary packages (e.g., Grpc.Core nuget from v2.38.1, Python wheels from v1.38.1), and continuous testing infrastructure set up for ARM64. Support is currently Linux-only; ARM64 on macOS (Apple M1) is not yet officially supported due to hardware and emulation challenges. Ruby lacks pre-built native gems and requires building from source. A detailed per-language support table and a list of underlying GitHub PRs are included. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is gRPC officially supported on ARM64 Linux now? Yes, gRPC and Protocol Buffers are ready for production workloads on ARM64 Linux across C++, C#, Go, Java, Node, PHP, Python, and Ruby. This includes continuous testing on ARM64, bugfixes for reliability, and architecture-specific binary packages for languages that ship them, such as Grpc.Core nuget packages starting from v2.38.1 and Python wheels starting from v1.38.1. _daily.dev helps backend teams track platform support milestones like ARM64 rollouts before they deploy._ ### Does gRPC support ARM64 on macOS with Apple M1? No, official ARM64 support from the gRPC team currently covers Linux only. Apple M1 Silicon and other non-Linux ARM64 platforms are not officially supported yet, due to challenges provisioning hardware and lacking emulation options, though the team acknowledges demand for broader platform coverage. _Engineers weighing ARM platform support gaps can follow rollout updates on daily.dev._ ### Are pre-built gRPC gems available for Ruby on ARM64 Linux? No, pre-built native gems for aarch64 Linux are not yet available for grpc-ruby and protobuf-ruby. Users must build the gems from source; continuous tests pass consistently and the libraries are safe to use, but the installation experience is described as suboptimal compared to other supported languages. _daily.dev keeps developers evaluating language-specific packaging gaps like this one up to date._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Official Linux ARM64 builds](https://daily.dev/posts/official-linux-arm64-builds-0m47dixnz) · Crystal · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Download Google Chrome for Arm64 Linux now](https://daily.dev/posts/download-google-chrome-for-arm64-linux-now-e3xjoiiwp) · omg\! ubuntu\! · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Chrome lands on arm64](https://daily.dev/posts/chrome-lands-on-arm64-0edrcd58w) · Calibre · 5 upvotes · 0 comments - [arm64 standard runners are now available in private repositories](https://daily.dev/posts/arm64-standard-runners-are-now-available-in-private-repositories-txgrccvew) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#hardware](https://daily.dev/tags/hardware), [#backend](https://daily.dev/tags/backend), [#distributed-systems](https://daily.dev/tags/distributed-systems), [#grpc](https://daily.dev/tags/grpc) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/running-grpc-and-protobuf-on-arm64-on-linux--7qqyaa1zz) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Running gRPC and Protobuf on ARM64 (on Linux)","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/running-grpc-and-protobuf-on-arm64-on-linux--7qqyaa1zz","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/running-grpc-and-protobuf-on-arm64-on-linux--7qqyaa1zz"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T07:20:18.824Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T07:22:54.810Z","description":"The gRPC team announces official, production-ready support for gRPC and Protocol Buffers on ARM64 Linux across C++, C#, Go, Java, Node, PHP, Python, and Ruby....","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/10aae04dfd3ba4523d83e4087201877a?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/10aae04dfd3ba4523d83e4087201877a?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"gRPC Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"gRPC Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--asedGCAx--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787469607/logos/grpc-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/grpc-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/running-grpc-and-protobuf-on-arm64-on-linux--7qqyaa1zz","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"linux,hardware,backend,distributed-systems,grpc","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"gRPC Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/grpc-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Running gRPC and Protobuf on ARM64 (on Linux)"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/running-grpc-and-protobuf-on-arm64-on-linux--7qqyaa1zz#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is gRPC officially supported on ARM64 Linux now?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, gRPC and Protocol Buffers are ready for production workloads on ARM64 Linux across C++, C#, Go, Java, Node, PHP, Python, and Ruby.
