Community Feedback Needed: gRPC Routing in Production

[Richard Belleville]

Hello,

I'm working on a set of gRPC routing APIs and would like to get some community feedback on usage patterns. Please answer any/all applicable questions:

1. Do you route external gRPC traffic through an L7 load balancer/reverse proxy? (for example, AWS application load balancer, GCP HTTP Load Balancer, nginx)

2. If yes to #1, do you also route external non-gRPC HTTP traffic through this load balancer/reverse proxy into your system?

3. If yes to #2, are there any hostname/port combinations on which both gRPC and non-gRPC HTTP paths exist? For example, foo.com:80/v1/restapi serves REST traffic while foo.com:80/fooorg.widget.WidgetService/ serves gRPC

4. Where do your workloads run? AWS? Azure? GCP? On-prem? Some combination of these?

Thank you!
