Plenary: gRPC: New Features and the Road Ahead
summary
Roadmap lays out concrete features: ext_proc and ext callouts let servers modify requests and delegate auth by calling a preconfigured gRPC extension service; HTTP CONNECT tunneling integrates with XDS so clients use proxies for cross‑env ingress/egress; Spiffe trust bundles add multiple trust domains (C++, Go, Java landing this year); Channel Z v2 debugs channels/sockets (C++ first); XDS global rate limiting uses a new RLQS protocol; MCP moves to gRPC; Rust support (tonic + full XDS) ships as a preview.
