Hi all, new to gokit!

Question/usecase: Is gokit a good option for message translation problems, such as to take raw TCP (x12, stx/etx control codes) payloads at a high volume, convert to to something else (protobuf), send out a gRPC request to a backing service, get a response back in gRPC/pb, then translate that message back to an equiv raw TCP response?

Hoping for some guidance or examples if gokit is a good usecase for this, however struggling with the TCP transport side examples and if 'middleware' is what would be calling backing services before returning back through the pipeline to respond via raw TCP.

thanks for helping out a gokit novice, sometimes just need to ask if its the right tool (and how) before trying to make it do something it isn't good at!
