support gRPC-Web proxy in Apache APISIX

[shuaijinchao]

Hi everyone, friends in the gRPC-Web community.

I come from the Apache APISIX community. APISIX is a high-performance API gateway, specifically used to manage and schedule the flow of NORTH-SOUTH and EAST-WEST, or as a k8s ingress controller. We plan to support gRPC-Web proxy in APISIX. gRPC-Web solves the problem of using gRPC in the browser, allowing users to use gRPC services in a more native way. I think this is a cool thing for many front-end developers. If you are interested, welcome to discuss with us.

Thanks for letting us know! Glad to hear you're adopting grpc-web :)

I'll convert this into a discussion thread so it'll be easier for anyone else interested to participate in :)

Hi @sampajano ,

Apache APISIX supports gRPC-Web now :)
The blog is published on Apache APISIX's blog[1]. Can we restart this discussion soon?
Thanks!

@shuaijinchao @yzeng25 Thanks so much for the interest and updates! Glad to know you're integrating with grpc-web! :)

I'm curious if there are any specific topics that you're interested in discussing? Thanks :)

grpc/grpc.io#932 asked about potentially doing a blog post about APISIX integration.

I think for now what we could do is updating grpc-web documentation on mention APISIX proxy support. :)

I'll make the doc update soon. Thanks! :)
