Research direction
The issue proposes evaluating tonic as an alternative gRPC library but is blocked by the merge of #5379. The issue is from 2019 with no recent activity. To proceed, first ensure #5379 is merged, then investigate tonic's compatibility and performance compared to the current tower grpc. Check comments for any additional context from maintainers.
