How to leverage Armeria's fantastic JSON to GRPC transcoding functions to springboot project - spring-boot

Question

We have a existing springboot project which has terrible API management system. So we wanna do something like grpc-gateway related work. But we don't want to add sidecar to our existing service. We found that Armeria has a wonderful json grpc transcoding function. How do we leverage this thing to our existing spring boot project.

Answer 1

We found that Armeria has a wonderful json grpc transcoding function.
I guess a minimal example may look like the following:
final GrpcService grpcService = GrpcService.builder()
.addService(new MyGrpcService())
.enableHttpJsonTranscoding(true) // enable http json transcoding
.build();
final ServerBuilder sb = Server.builder();
sb.service(grpcService).serviceUnder("/foo", grpcService); // add the grpc service to the server
final Server server = sb.build();
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(() -> {
server.stop().join();
}));
server.start().join(); // start the server
How do we leverage this thing to our existing spring boot project.
Armeria also offers spring-boot integration. An example can be found in the following repository.
You can also ask at slack or github issues if you have any additional/follow up questions.
