Safe, Fast, and Scalable: Why gRPC-Rust Should Be Your Next RPC Framework
summary
gRPC-Rust is a near-beta RPC stack built on top of Tonic that secures the crate name gRPC and targets a beta release early next year. It provides a protoc plugin using the official Google protobuf Rust library, a DNS name resolver, a pick_first load balancer, an HTTP/2 channel, a Tokio default runtime, plans for protobuf-arena style reusable message APIs and zero-copy IO, and fixes tonic pitfalls that can leak status metadata.
