> h2. Background and Goal
> Apache Dubbo aims to provide full interoperability with the gRPC ecosystem through the Triple protocol, which is designed to be fully compatible with gRPC communication and tooling.
> However, the gRPC ecosystem has evolved significantly in recent years, including improvements in APIs, streaming interfaces, and client/server abstractions.
> Some of these updates have not yet been fully reflected in Dubbo's current API design and SDK capabilities.
> This project aims to evaluate the latest gRPC APIs and align Dubbo’s APIs with modern gRPC design patterns where appropriate.
> h2. Goal
> Expected tasks include:
>  # Investigate the latest gRPC API changes and features.
>  # Identify gaps between Dubbo’s APIs and the gRPC ecosystem.
>  # Improve or extend Dubbo APIs to better align with gRPC usage patterns.
>  # Improve interoperability between Dubbo services and gRPC clients.
>  # Provide examples and documentation for cross-framework usage.
> h2. Possible Extensions
>  * Improve gRPC streaming support
>  * Enhance proto-based service definitions
>  * Improve developer experience for cross-language services
> h2. Relevant Skills
>  * Java
>  * gRPC
>  * RPC frameworks
>  * Distributed systems
> h2. Potential Mentors
