Totem is a Go library that can turn a single gRPC stream into bidirectional unary gRPC servers.

Background

Streaming RPCs enable several useful design patterns for client-server connections that can't be done with unary RPCs. For example, keeping track of long-lived client connections, and sending server-initiated requests to such clients. However, implementing bidirectional messaging over streams can quickly become very complicated for non-trivial use cases. Totem enables these design patterns and abstracts away the underlying stream, allowing you to implement your streaming RPC in terms of simpler unary RPCs.

Examples

See the examples directory for example code.
