Hi Nic, > I was wondering if there is a way to access the connection information of the server in order to see how many connections the server is currently responding to
One way that comes to mind is adding channelz <https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/src/proto/grpc/channelz/channelz.proto> service to the server, and querying it for the data. Related link: https://cloud.google.com/traffic-director/docs/observability-proxyless#admin-interface (`AdminInterface` includes channelz). Otherwise, Java provides `ServerBuilder.addTransportFilter()` <https://grpc.github.io/grpc-java/javadoc/io/grpc/ServerBuilder.html#addTransportFilter-io.grpc.ServerTransportFilter->, which can be used to track connections. Look up if there's something similar in Python/Go. > Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions for an alternate approach to this? If you're using gRPC xDS, I'm working on adding Rate Limit Service <https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/service/ratelimit/v3/rls.proto> support for server-side global rate limiting. This allows to offload throttling decisions to an external server.
