In what kind of scenarios do they use Protobufs? I can think of messaging systems, streaming, RPC, that sort of thing?

Everything at google is built on RPCs between systems using protobufs
Protobuf is also used as a format to write data to disk.
Why is this being down voted? It's accurate.
And one of the more important things done at the very beginning of each and every HTTP(S) request is packaging the web request up in a protobuf and send it onwards from the loadbalancer.
So downstream from the LB it's no longer HTTP? Or is every component just protobuf "aware"?

Also extensively for database column data types.
