## What it is
TinyRPC is a C++ asynchronous RPC framework built on a reactor event loop with coroutine support, claiming 140k+ QPS. It supports a custom TinyPB protocol over protobuf as well as HTTP services, and includes a code generator scaffold.

## Use cases
- build a high-performance distributed rpc service in c++
- serve http endpoints with a lightweight c++ server
- make async rpc calls using coroutines
- define rpc interfaces with protobuf and generate service scaffolding
- learn how reactor and coroutine-based networking frameworks work

## When to choose
- you need a self-contained C++ RPC framework with coroutine-based async calls
- you want very high throughput RPC on Linux with protobuf serialization
- you want both RPC and HTTP serving in one lightweight framework

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade support, gRPC ecosystem compatibility, or cross-platform Windows support
- you want a batteries-included service mesh with service discovery and load balancing out of the box
- your team is not comfortable with modern C++ and coroutine internals
