YumaPro provides Google’s gRPC functionality with a gRPC server controlled and monitored by YumaPro’s netconfd-pro server.

Features include:

• Developers provide .proto files
• The platform is ypgrpc-go-app, the application is maintained in Golang as well as the gRPC server and server stub code
• The client gRPC code can be maintained in any language and can be used by any other tool to send a gRPC request for the data, it can be auto generated code, GUI tools, or CLI tools, etc
• Client sends gRPC requests directly to the ypgrpc-go-app
• Subsystem reports when gRPC stream starts and ends to the netconfd-pro server for monitoring information
• Stub code is generated using protoc tool
• Stub code is integrated into ypgrpc-go-app similar to db-api-app

All possible gRPC scenarios are supported:

• empty request/response
• one request/one response
• server-side streaming RPC
• client-side streaming RPC
• bidirectional streaming

ypgrpc-go-app registers its capabilities and details with YumaPro’s server, netconfd-pro. This includes the following:

• List of available Services
• List of available RPCs
• List of open streams and when they were started
• Counters to keep track of open and closed streams
• List of supported .proto files
