I get the OP is off base with his remark - but at the same time maintained by Google means shit in practice.
AFAIK they have a bunch of production infra on protobuff/gRPC - not so sure about flatbufferrs which came out of the game dev side - that's the difference maker to me - which project is actually rooted in.
