RFC-0014

Standardize internal RPC on gRPC

Open

Proposal to replace bespoke JSON-over-HTTP internal calls with gRPC + protobuf for typed contracts and streaming.

Priya K.

Strong +1 on typed contracts. How do we handle browser-facing edges that can’t speak gRPC?

Jordan O.

Edge stays REST via a gateway transcode. Internal hops only.

Marco R.

Let’s capture the migration order as a follow-up playbook.

What it is

A Request for Comments is where a change gets proposed and pressure-tested before anyone commits to it. Your teams weigh in on the proposal itself, trade-offs surface early, and when the RFC closes the outcome becomes a decision record with the whole discussion attached.

Start with structure

Every RFC opens with Summary, Motivation, Proposal, Alternatives, Risks, and Open questions, so proposals arrive ready to debate.

The debate, in one place

Comments live on the RFC while it’s open, not scattered across chat threads and email chains.

A clock on every RFC

Comments stay open for 60 days, with one extension to 90. When time is up the RFC closes on its own, so nothing lingers forever.

Authors stay in the loop

Authors get an in-app and email reminder five days before the deadline, with time to extend or wrap up.

Becomes a decision

Turn a closed RFC into a draft ADR in one click. The content carries over and the two stay linked.

Revise and go again

Not there yet? Spin a closed RFC into a new draft that supersedes it, keeping the first round on record.
