Caveat, I'm not familiar with gRPC nor your implementation. In addition to Robert's suggestions, have you considered a single executable using GoRoutines and channels. Maybe channels can be shared between 2 executables but I can't speak to that. You could run a test to see if it GO allows it. If so, my expectation would be that it's thread safe.
Maybe pipes can be passed to another executable and be thread safe? Robert recommended shared memory or memory mapped file which aren't thread safe. You may need to make it thread safe.
