Any suggestion to build a long-lived connection with dual-rpc capability

gRPC (https://github.com/google/tarpc) is the first thought here, but it is bounded to http2 and the client has to initiate the connection, I haven't used stream request before so not sure if it fits my situation.

For generating server and client code from an interface description, you may try tonic for gRPC with protobuf as your interface language, or tarpc if you want to describe the API in Rust.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing retainer and tarpc you can also consider the following projects:

futures-batch - An adapter for futures, which chunks up elements and flushes them after a timeout — or when the buffer is full. (Formerly known as tokio-batch.)

tonic - A native gRPC client & server implementation with async/await support.

extreme - extremely boring async function runner!

capnproto-rust - Cap'n Proto for Rust

bmemcached-rs - Rust binary memcached implementation

jsonrpc - Rust JSON-RPC implementation

rust-memcache - memcache client for rust

lust - A fast, auto-optimizing image server designed for high throughput and caching; Now that is hot.

cached - Rust cache structures and easy function memoization

delay-timer - Time-manager of delayed tasks. Like crontab, but synchronous asynchronous tasks are possible scheduling, and dynamic add/cancel/remove is supported.

untokio - pretend tokio doesn't exist
