EchoKV

EchoKV is an in-memory distributed key-value store.

Quick Startup

1. To run the service locally if Go is installed you can run the command

   go run ./server/main.go

   • This will spin up the http and gRPC service respectively.

Dependencies

• Buf - Used tool for go code generations for protobufs relating to .proto files for gRPC calls.
• grpcui - Tool used to visualize and test local grpc calls via an interactive web UI.

Testing gRPC

To directly test against gRPC API call's we can use a tool called grpcui.

1. Use grpcui to interact with any internal or public gRPC calls:
   • This will require generating the protoset which can be done via buf

   buf build --path ./proto-public -o api.bin --as-file-descriptor-set

2. We can now use the generated protoset file called api.bin to send requests at our gRPC URL

   # Define your $GRPC_ADDR var
   grpcui -plaintext -protoset api.bin "$GPRC_ADDR"
