Tired of old REST/GraphQL web APIs I am wondering if there is a library for building Elixir APIs on/with RPC ?
I’ve been using trpc - nice, swift, easy to deploy - but on Node & Typescript; I feel the need of something similar on Elixir.
I found Erlang rpc but this module is very cryptic for me, impossible to use. An Elixir wrapper would be great.

Build a distributed system by Elixir is fun!
For RPC between Elixir nodes, I have built a EasyRpc and ClusterHelper for easy get target nodes in a dynamic cluster (like Elixir cluster on K8s). It’s quite late, but I hope these can help someone.

If nothing existing suits your needs then it might be the time to implement it yourself and share it with the world.

@al2o3cr Thanks but was asking for Elixir not Erlang, that has already a rpc module.
“Something else” such as I specified initially, something similar to trpc:
Quote from trcp website:
LE: Or maybe “something” that implements JSON-RPC 2.0 Specification where I could specify my own methods, in my own way, beyond the get/post/put/delete of REST.

you’re right, my mistake. Thanks but not interested in this anyway.

That TODO List have all boxes ticked:
So, nothing more left to do on that list.
The latest tag is
0.4.0not0.3.1:al2o3cr
What specifically are you looking for? “Something else” doesn’t give folks much insight into your criteria.
For instance, CORBA is “something else” - it was even part of the OTP distribution until OTP 21 (2018)! You almost certainly do NOT want it. GitHub - erlang/corba: The Corba and Cos* applications from OTP · GitHub

Mmmm.. thanks I am already aware of gRPC, is there something else available ? Maybe a wrapper around Erlang rpc module ?
Anyway the gRPC Elixir library doesn’t seem very mature (v.0.3.1 and this long todo)
