What is IPFS Lite?
From the ipfs-lite project:
IPFS-Lite is an embeddable, lightweight IPFS peer which runs the minimal setup to provide an ipld.DAGService. It can:
Add, Get, Remove IPLD Nodes to/from the IPFS Network (remove is a local blockstore operation).
Add single files (chunk, build the DAG and Add) from a io.Reader.
Get single files given a their CID.
It provides:
An ipld.DAGService
An AddFile method to add content from a reader
A GetFile method to get a file from IPFS.
What is the gRPC wrapper?
gRPC is a modern open source high performance RPC framework that can run in any environment.
This project adds a minimal gRPC service on top of the IPFS Lite module. It allows you to embed IPFS Lite into multiple projects while exposing a common API. You could deploy IPFS Lite as a microservice, embed it in mobile applications, or wrap it in a Dockerfile.
