I feel like most high throughput distributed systems eventually reach a point where some part of it is constrained by de/serialization.
Not much is faster than protobuf except for zero copy formats.

But zero-copy formats like FlatBuffers or Cap'n Proto can be much faster. Like, faster by an arbitrarily large factor, for data at rest.
