Python port of grpctunnel - carry gRPC over gRPC
Project description
grpctunnel-py
A Python port of grpctunnel - a library for carrying gRPC over gRPC.
About
This library enables tunneling gRPC connections through other gRPC connections. This provides two primary use cases:
-
Forward Tunnels: Pin multiple RPC calls to a single server backend, providing session affinity even when connecting through load balancers.
-
Reverse Tunnels: Allow servers to send RPC requests back to connected clients, enabling rich "server push" capabilities and allowing servers behind NAT/firewalls to be accessed.
Attribution
This is a Python port of the original Go implementation created by Joshua Humphries.
