Remote Generation

From remote generation docs:

A common frustration when working with Protocol Buffers is that you need to generate code for each language that you're working with. Many teams implement custom tooling and scripts to solve this problem, but it can be difficult to ensure that every person who works on a given project has all of the code generation tooling set up locally. And if you have Protobuf-based APIs, the consumers of your APIs shouldn't have to deal with code generation.

The Buf Schema Registry solves this problem with remote code generation. With this feature, you can eliminate code generation from your workflows and directly install code generated from Protobuf definitions using standard package managers and build tools. This diagram illustrates how remote generation works:
