Transport-independent controllers, routing, middleware, configuration, forked-worker supervision and network-free testing for Ruby gRPC applications. Requires CRuby 3.3 or later. This gem has no grpc dependency. Requiring the core does not load a transport; starting a server loads the selected adapter.
require "gritz/core"Use gritz for the default framework and executable, or combine this gem with gritz-native for the official grpc gem adapter. The experimental gritz-async adapter runs RPCs in fibers and supports inherited TCP listeners without installing the official grpc gem.
Controller tests can load gritz/testing/rspec or gritz/testing/minitest and run without a network or the grpc gem. See the controller examples and configuration guide.
Gritz::Testing::Server selects the configured adapter for real-socket tests; require that adapter's entrypoint first. Adapter suites explicitly require gritz/testing/transport_contract to run shared wire checks with RSpec, the official grpc client and googleapis-common-protos-types as test dependencies. Production eager loading skips this shared test suite.
Supervised servers support phased replacement, fresh-interpreter hot reexec, request/memory/lifetime recycling, Admin HTTP probes and process-wide Prometheus totals. The CLI keeps one lifecycle owner across master generations; application controllers and gRPC resources stay in serving processes.
Gritz::Client.define creates lazy, fork-safe client constants with deadline propagation, selected request headers and middleware around complete streams. See the client guide. Optional gritz-otel adds server/client spans and worker OTLP metrics after fork.
The optional Gritz::Compat::Gruf module adapts Gruf controllers, returned response streams and server interceptors. gritz-migrate-gruf converts supported static configuration without executing the source file. See the Gruf migration guide. Add gritz-rails for Rails execution, generators and development reloading.
