Example Server and Clients
I chose to use QUIC for transport and Protobuf for encoding. During this process, I also created a separate crate for handling Protobuf streams, which provides a mechanism to recover when incoming data is out of sync. The messages are encoded with a length delimiter. You can find the crate here:
Protobuf Stream
The server is implemented using Actix to ensure optimal performance and minimal contention.
The GitHub Actions workflow successfully runs the tests. However, I encountered an issue with the client that only occurs in the CI environment. Since I was unable to resolve this problem in time, I decided to submit the PR as is to avoid further delays.
