03/03/2023, 5:15 PMWhat are the most evident downsides of building dagster using a single node (single docker image) so dagit has a reference to the python package https://docs.dagster.io/deployment/guides/docker, instead of using a gRPC server for the repository?
Jean Gonzalez
03/03/2023, 5:18 PMAsking considering we have a issue with dynamically build assets, jobs, sensors from API and dagit is not able to reload them when using a gRPC server

03/03/2023, 5:20 PMConsidering dagster architecture dagit can still have its replicas.

03/03/2023, 5:22 PMWhat is the point of having a gRPC server in the first place (naive question sorry!)? What benefits are to having replicas to gRPC servers?

03/03/2023, 10:31 PMHi Jean - the main benefit of running a separate gRPC server is that:
• problems in your code can't mess up system components like dagit
• You can run multiple separate python enviroments in parallel
• You can upgrade your code without needing to restart your system components
