tonic VS tarpc

Use tonic-build directly from Rust.

} // Omit the remaining code and refer to the example in Tonic: https://github.com/hyperium/tonic/blob/master/examples/src/multiplex/server.rs ```

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.

You can think its better version of tarpc

tarpc is a Rust RPC crate by google (not official)

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.
