gRPC Tools

Simple container including tools for loadtesting and debugging gRPC services. It is based on weaveworks loadtester image but adds evans to the tools chain as well.

Run locally

It is possible to use it locally like this

docker run -it --net=host alaa/grpc-tools:0.17.0

and then exec into the cotnainer to use the evans tool

docker exec -it $CONTAINER_ID ./evans -h

Run on Kubernetes

This is basically when it is needed the most, to be able to teset and debug and use the gRPC interface of a service running insde the Kubernetes cluster.

kubectl run grpc-tools --restart=Never --image=alaa/grpc-tools:0.17.0 -n default

kubectl exec -it -n default grpc-tools bash
