I'm talking about L7 middleboxes like HTTP load balancers, API gateways, caches/CDNs, etc.

- danpalmer 3y agoOh fair enough. I guess that's true, although I'm not sure I'd see too much of a problem there. For load balancers there are options that work fine with gRPC, similarly API gateways. Caches and CDNs no (at least I haven't seen any), but then again, I'm skeptical about putting CDNs in front of business logic, and would only ever use them for actual content (where the serving logic doesn't matter). Even logged out usage of APIs still often has analytics and other stuff that means you want to hit the backend every time.
