A simple RPC demo

A simple RPC demo implemented in Go and Rust.

The server is already hosted on test.lingkang.dev:8333 for testing.

The rustdoc of client side is hosted on lingkang.dev/rpc_demo/.

See this blog post for more details: Implement RPC demo from scratch - Lingkang's Blog.

1. Server

The server side is implemented in Go, under the ./server directory.

1.1. Run

To run it locally:

cd server
go run cmd/main.go

Or build and run the binary:

cd server
go build -o target/rpc_demo cmd/main.go
./target/rpc_demo

Or use nohup to run it in the background.

nohup ./target/rpc_demo > ./target/output.txt 2>&1 & # keep the output
# or
nohup ./target/rpc_demo > /dev/null 2>&1 & # discard the output

1.2. Output

Golang built-in module log is used to provide basic running information.

2. Client

The client side is implemented in Rust, under the ./client directory.

2.1. Run

It can be run locally:

cd client
cargo run

2.2. Output

A naive implementation of logger based on log crate is used in this demo:
