drpc: Decentralized RPC Framework

View Code

Peer-to-peer RPC framework built on libp2p with gRPC and gRPC-web support.

Technical Architecture

drpc explores RPC over libp2p for services that need peer-to-peer transport instead of a central network path.

I used libp2p primitives to adapt gRPC-style communication to decentralized networks, including service discovery and streaming support.

Core Mechanisms

  • gRPC Integration: Proxies gRPC streams through libp2p multiplexed connections.
  • Service Discovery: Implements Kad-DHT (Kademlia Distributed Hash Table) for node discovery and routing.
  • Bi-directional Streaming: Supports bi-directional streams for real-time state synchronization.

Operational Impact

The architecture is aimed at environments where partition tolerance and service continuity matter more than centralized coordination.
