ConsoLovers.Ipc.Sever & Client
Easy to use inter-process communication with gRPC and unix domain sockets
Description
It is a small library for inter-process communication on a single machine, using gRPC with Unix Domain Sockets. Microsoft has an article called Inter-process communication with gRPC, and the ConsoLovers.Ipc.Server & Client packages provide an easy and flexible implementation, without having to care about all the infratructure setup, that needs to be done.
This is how easy you setup a gRPC server within your application.
var server = IpcServer.CreateServer()
.ForCurrentProcess()
.AddGrpcService<CounterService>()
.Start();The available packages
The library is split into serverside and client side packages. This reduces the client side dependencies to a minimum.
