intercom is a containerized plugin system over gRPC. My goal was to be able to deploy Kubernetes Deployments or StatefulSets along with a Service that would act as a blackbox interface defined by the gRPC protocol.
The go-plugin project provided for a lot of the initial inspiration and direction of this project, however I wanted to make it native to Kubernetes by leveraging Pods and Services.
Here's some wishful thinking for this project:
- the protocol wouldn't even have to be gRPC
- the protocol would be built at a much lower level such as the container runtime level (e.g. Docker, rocket). These runtimes would define an interface of the container by a similar method as
Exposein Docker.
