------------------------------
Summary: GSoC 2026 – Aligning Dubbo APIs with Modern gRPC APIs
Key: DUBBO-147
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DUBBO-147
Project: Apache Dubbo
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Liang He
h2. Background and Goal
Apache Dubbo aims to provide full interoperability with the gRPC ecosystem
through the Triple protocol, which is designed to be fully compatible with gRPC
communication and tooling.
However, the gRPC ecosystem has evolved significantly in recent years,
including improvements in APIs, streaming interfaces, and client/server
abstractions.
Some of these updates have not yet been fully reflected in Dubbo's current API
design and SDK capabilities.
This project aims to evaluate the latest gRPC APIs and align Dubbo’s APIs with
modern gRPC design patterns where appropriate.
h2. Goal
Expected tasks include:
# Investigate the latest gRPC API changes and features.
# Identify gaps between Dubbo’s APIs and the gRPC ecosystem.
# Improve or extend Dubbo APIs to better align with gRPC usage patterns.
# Improve interoperability between Dubbo services and gRPC clients.
# Provide examples and documentation for cross-framework usage.
h2. Possible Extensions
* Improve gRPC streaming support
* Enhance proto-based service definitions
* Improve developer experience for cross-language services
h2. Relevant Skills
* Java
* gRPC
* RPC frameworks
* Distributed systems
