We want to give users the option to run a lightweight server local to where their ZIO app is running that supports a few commands to aid monitoring and metrics of their application.

Commands to support:

• Fiber Dump - Fiber dump of all fibers
• Metrics
  • stdout - prints metrics to stdout
  • prometheus - pushes metrics to prometheus
  • prometheus & other metrics integrations supported by utilizing zio-metrics
• Test
  • Server replies with a test message - used to test server working

Clients send commands to the server and wait for a response. Initially we are planning to support a CLI tool as the client but do plan to support some level of IDE/Text editor support to aid debugging.

The protocol used to communicate between the client and server is a cut down version of the RESP protocol that Redis uses. For more information on this protocol please see the specification docs: Redis Protocol specification – Redis

Choosing this protocol enables us to have something simple to implement without any external dependencies being introduced and thereby keeping the client and server lightweight.
