Incorporating gRPC + Elixir in Mobile Application We want to be able to use the gRPC framework to make a remote procedure call. Basically, it is a way that allows our mobile clients to directly make requests from the mobile app server without being able to receive all the network details locally. There are lots and lots of use-cases for incorporating gRPC and Elixir, see Use Cases for some examples about how it could be used.  Use Cases # User(s) Use-case 1 Mobile Server Inter-microservice communication 2 Client Request Aggregate data from multiple microservices  3 Mobile Server Creating users 4 Client Request Fetching users System Design Decisions for consideration What exactly do we expect the mobile app to fetch from the server endpoints? Which microservices have we decided at this point in time to make provision for in our mobile app infrastructure? What problem does the decision to use Elixir as a programming language solve? Are merchant and client authentication handled...
