grpc-gateway: gRPC to JSON proxy generator

grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway: gRPC to JSON proxy generator following the gRPC HTTP spec @GitHub

"The grpc-gateway is a plugin of the Google protocol buffers compiler protoc. It reads protobuf service definitions and generates a reverse-proxy server which 'translates a RESTful HTTP API into gRPC. This server is generated according to the google.api.http annotations in your service definitions.
This helps you provide your APIs in both gRPC and RESTful style at the same time."

Tesla Virtual Power Plant

Tesla Virtual Power Plant

VPP is a network of distributed energy-resources (often solar, wind, batteries) that are aggregated to provide smarter and more flexible power generation, distribution, and availability. Tesla's VPP consists of vertically integrated hardware and software, including both cloud and edge computing.




"Tesla is working on a giant virtual power plant made of 50,000 Powerwalls and solar systems in Australia and the local government says that the first phases have shown a reduction in electricity rates by “more than 20%.”
