💡 Idea

Use gRPC as subscriber channel protocol to be a alternative or replacement of WebSocket.

gRPC is built directly upon features of HTTP2 and is a lightweight framework for message transaction.

Cloudflare currently also do not have connection throttle for gRPC. But did have for websocket and is sometimes very high delay.(free plan)

💻 Target components

Any platform that can use gRPC
