What kind of server?

You can use http.request() to create http request for instance.

Well since it is Lua based it should work in Defold with some modifications to use http.request()

Ok, so you are creating a native extension? Weren’t you going to use that Lua based grpc client you linked?

If you put .cpp and .h files inside your extension src folder they will be included and can be used from your native extension.
