There needs to be some integration with grpc-elixir.

What are appropriate places to hook into the eflatbuffers library? I don't understand the design of grpc-elixir.

Most of the implementation of grpc-elixir may be related with protobuf and there may lots of code to be changed. So you have to understand how grpc-elixir works if you want to add the flatbuffers support. But it's hard to explain the design in some few words, the code is the best way :). And you can refer the this doc https://grpc.io/docs/guides/wire.html. gRPC is just an HTTP/2 framework, you can use Protobuf or flatbuffers to marshal/unmarshal the data.

Hi, main author of eflatbuffers here.
If can can help with this, I would be happy to do so!

I think this can be implemented by using codec #99
