prost-wkt VS tonic

Thanks a lot for that. Yeah I'm using tonic. I found https://github.com/fdeantoni/prost-wkt which does pack/unpack but the issue is that tonic uses prost_types.

I want to know how I can generate the prost_types::Struct structure from some arbitrary JSON? As much as I've been able to research, the current solution is using a custom prost-wkt library but the setup seems incompatible with Tonic because of the build steps. Plus, the generated code using their steps would not compile for me due to traits not being implemented.

Use tonic-build directly from Rust.

If I’m not misunderstanding, you could both decode the gRPC protobuf AND write to delta lake in Rust. Tonic, Delta-rs.

Tonic

Just to double check Is this the correct repo?

Wasm isn't involved much actually. Basically, the frontend asks the backend to perform a gRPC call on its behalf using Tauri events. They are like named channels on which you can send any serde-compatible value. But the backend is a normal Rust program so there are no constraints there. I use prost-reflect to encode/decode Protobuf messages according to Protobuf descriptors loaded at runtime and make the actual requests using tonic from the tokio ecosystem. prost-reflect is necessary because, normally, tonic expects the Protobuf descriptor to be known at compile time so it can make some code generation behind the scenes.

You could have a look at gRPC i.e. https://github.com/hyperium/tonic

Looking at this example code: https://github.com/hyperium/tonic/blob/master/examples/src/tower/server.rs

The remaining gap is remote actors, since you still need some kind of serialization between them, and take your pick of standards for that one such as gRPC using Tonic.
