aepc

Generates AEP-compliant RPCs from proto messages. See the main README.md for usage.

Purpose

aepc is designed to primarily work off of a resource model: rather than having individual RPCs / methods on a resource, the user declares resources that live under a service. The common operations against a resource (Create, Read, Update, List, and Delete) are generatable based on the desired control plane standard, such as the AEP standard or custom resource definitions for the Kubernetes Resource Model.

Design

aepc works off of an internal "hub" representation of a resource, while each of the consumers and producers is a "spoke", using the resource information for generation of service, clients, or documentation:
