This is more or less what stubby is/was for Google and so the original driving force in implementing it. Now, if you add a catch all service that translates the requests from the outside to Protobuffers and then forwards the translated requests to the correct service you have a GFE (Google Front-End) equivalent. Should you do it? Probably not as it's not just a dumb translation layer and it is extremely complex (e.g. needs to support streams which is non-trivial in this situation). For Google it's worth because this way you only have to handle protobuffers beyond the GFE layer. |
