mgrpc: generate first example service
With this changeset, we have the first end to end generated server and
client. Most of the necessary types are in place and working. There are
a lot of details to work out, but this would be enough for to exercise
the end to end flow.

mgrpc

GRPC for low-memory environments.

The existing grpc-go project requires a lot of memory overhead for importing packages and at runtime. While this is great for many services with low density requirements, this can be a problem when running a large number of services on a single machine or on a machine with a small amount of memory.

This project reduces the binary size and protocol overhead when working with GRPC. We do this by eliding the net/http and net/http2 package used by grpc with a lightweight framing protocol We do this by eliding the net/http and net/http2 package used by grpc with a lightweight framing protocol.

Please note that while this project supports generating either end of the protocol, the generated service definitions will be incompatible with regular GRPC services, as they do not speak the same protocol.

Usage

Create a gogo vanity binary (see cmd/protoc-gen-gogomgrpc/main.go for an example with the mgrpc plugin enabled.

It's recommended to use protobuild to build the protobufs for this project, but this will work with protoc directly, if required.

Status

Very new. YMMV.
