gRPC disruptions in non-Golang apps

[nikos912000]

I was curious if it easy to execute gRPC Disruptions vs apps not written in Go.

Do you have any examples that you could share?

From a quick look in the implementation:

• One would need the proto file + the codegen. This is straightforward to port to different languages.
• Also, the logic from the chaos_service; this includes the implementation of the interfaces plus the interceptor. For e.g. Java I suspect the interceptor will be an implementation of io.grpc.ServerInterceptor like this. This part would require some work.
• Additional logic that gets used in the listener should also be ported to the target language. E.g. the calculations. This would also need some effort.

We have no use cases for this internally, and thus have never attempted it, unfortunately. I think it is possible, as you note, because all of the server-side code could be rewritten in the target language, however I definitely don't have any examples to share.

No worries. We can give this a try and if it works we'll share examples :)
