protocol contains the canonical protocol definitions for the kokaq distributed priority queue system. It serves as the single source of truth for how components in the kokaq ecosystem communicate — ensuring consistency, versioning, and interoperability across clients, servers, and storage backends.
Distributed systems require a clear and consistent language to operate reliably across environments, runtimes, and network boundaries. protocol ensures:
- ✅ Stable Contracts — Breaking changes are avoided through strict versioning
- 🔄 Multi-language Support — Generate code for Go, Rust, Python, C#, etc.
- 📡 Standardized Communication — Between clients, servers, and storage engines
- 🔍 Evolvable Design — Protocols can evolve while remaining backward-compatible
