GitHub user Xuanwo edited a discussion: Crazy Ideas: OpenDAL REST/gRPC API

Although there are ongoing efforts to expose OpenDAL with public APIs such as `s3` and `webdav`, most of them come with additional costs and are not native to OpenDAL. Therefore, I am considering exposing OpenDAL's native REST and gRPC APIs.

Those API should:

- OpenDAL native: no extra cost, mapping to opendal's API directly.
- Easy to use: no sdk needed, users can call an opendal server without effort.
- Easy to maintain: no complex logic, no state, no cluster, one binary

Benefits:

- Serve as service sidecar (good for K8s users)
- Serve as storage proxy (good for golang users)
