Wow, I was surprised at the sheer size of the diff. Huge!
Can any of you tell if it includes unit tests? I didn't see any.

#4Seems they punted on graceful handling of bidirectional streams.

#5I love seeing grpc grow. An rpc system with a schema and code generation is a must for internal services. Grpc has worked really well for me.

#6This is great; I also recently published an alternative designed for browser clients:
https://github.com/ericbets/danby
It's designed to be very simple to configure. It doesn't support streams yet, but it should soon.

#7This is not cool
There is no place for gRPC in NGINX.
This is Google trying to thin end of the wedge their own proprietary protocols into web standards yet again.
My idea of a good time is not a future where the internet is built using Google technologies dressed as "open technologies".. that.. uh-huh just happen to be the exact same as infrastructure protocols that span the internal Googleverse.
Besides that, protobuf and its ilk aren't even good or modern.
People who say, yay look at it growing are very naive imho

#8Finally! Up until now, when people ask how they are supposed to proxy grpc traffic, we could only recommend Envoy. Pretty much no one wants to hear that they have to change their stack to use new technology. Since a large part of the world is already on nginx, this was a a real barrier for adoption.
Next up, browser support?

Just out of curiosity, what's a modern alternative to protobufs?

#10Seems they punted on graceful handling of bidirectional streams.
last i checked grpc could only technically support bidirectional streams. None of the libraries I looked at actually implemented it.
