Subject: [Caml-list] RPC for OCaml?

Hello.

I'm thinking about implementing a library for doing RPC with OCaml, with large
scale environments in mind (à la Stubby but with better type checking of
course). I'm wondering what are the related libs I should make myself familiar
with before starting. I've seen a few interesting things for serialization
(piqi come to mind), some interesting event engines (LWT, Core), some protocol
implementations suitable for transport but no HTTP2, nothing to interface with
monitoring subsystems or TSDBs, nothing related to load balancing, routing,
DDoS detection, etc, some crypto, an interesting TLS implementation from
MirageOs, no OAuth or similar.

What other related projects should I look at?

Also, if anyone would be interested in contributing ideas, experience or code
please let me know.
