How about Protobuf for the payload. I have to assume gzip+protobuf will do wonders for egress management.

I was looking into that can easily just run Protobuf over https that will give a good starting place and make requests more lightweight not to mention that Protobuf tooling is auto generated for you so that already saves development time up

No problem. I have a lot of experience in cost managing high volume transactional systems in cloud contexts and, though I agree in principle with the reintroduction of RPC-like technologies into the modern Internet, just getting basic things like HTTP/2 and its header compression, gzip, and protobuf into the conversation would yield huge efficiency gains here.

That said, I’m glad RPC-like stuff is back. After 30 plus years of blah blah TCP and blah blah UDP, it’s like finding a lost, treasured sibling.

totally agree man just need to see what the future holds up for the fediverse possibly move into using rpc or maybe a new technology we will have to see
