The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Kafka as chat server?
Redis. The pub/sub is sufficient. Here's a notification service that plugs websockets in on one end: https://github.com/go-bridget/notify - I might add in server-side push support, or gobws to keep memory use down. A chat service can be implemented with a rpc API for write operations, and the notify websocket service to deliver events (new messages,...) and state (history, search,...).

Migrating from PHP to Go
I'm a big fan of [Twirp RPC](https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp), and [go-chi/chi](https://github.com/go-chi/chi) if I need to provide REST endpoints, authentication or other routing middleware. The "gorilla" set of packages are also useful, I always reach for gorilla/websocket if I need to do some websocket work. You can look at an example service in [go-bridget/notify](https://github.com/go-bridget/notify) - the main files to look at are under rpc/notify/notify.proto/.go, and the implementation which you write is under server/notify. If you'd create database drivers, I'd create a package under server/notify/mysql (for example), and then implement an interface for data retrieval/settings. It's on the todolist, if I'll ever need to implement anything other than JWT, or Redis. Comment if you have any questions or notes.

I Reviewed 1,000s of Opinions on gRPC
The next time I want to build an API, I will probably make use of https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp. I like working with Protobuf and having strongly-typed and well-defined messages, but gRPC is way, way too much. It's obviously a Google product, built for what Google needs.
Use Protobuf for messages, but just use HTTP for transport.
- How do I provide bot RPC and REST endpoints?
- Reasons to use gRPC/Protobuf?

A detailed comparison of REST and gRPC

goRPC or gRPC?
There is another: twirp

TypeScript type safety with GO
And addition to what was mentioned there are also webrpc and twirp.

Any good open source python projects that have used GRPC?
If you find one, you maybe also interested in twirp.

GraphQL making its way into a Twitter discussion about latency is not what I expected
Twitch has a great framework for it https://twitchtv.github.io/twirp/docs/intro.html

swaggo/swag alternative, but should generate OpenAPI 3.0 spec file
We have better experience with https://goa.design/ than with https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp

Connect-Web: It's time for Protobuf/gRPC to be your first choice in the browser
Take a look at Twirp (https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp) open sourced by TwitchTv. It's a lot lighter weight than gRPC. It does use Protobufs but addresses some of the concerns you mentioned, such as being able to test with JSON payloads, works over HTTP 1.1 and HTTP/2, good client libraries, and doesn't require a proxy.
They address your concerns in more detail in the Twirp release announcement (2018) - https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2018/01/16/twirp-a-sweet-new-rpc-f...
