Tonic is joining the gRPC project
Tonic is transitioning to become part of the gRPC project, specifically grpc/grpc-rust. This change aims to enhance the gRPC implementation in Rust and support the existing tonic community. A preview release of the new grpc crate is expected soon, which will maintain compatibility with current tonic users.
- ▪Tonic will be upstreamed to the official gRPC project as grpc/grpc-rust.
- ▪The transition is a response to the challenges of maintaining the tonic project and the need for new features.
- ▪The new grpc crate will include optimizations and a fresh implementation while remaining compatible with tonic's existing code.
