discussion: How should we communicate between two processes?

[vansangpfiev]

socket, pipe?

[vansangpfiev]

Some random thoughts:

• For Jan <-> cortex.cpp server: can communicate by Unix Domain Sockets (UDS) or pipe or shared memory. Thanks @louis-jan for a great idea.
• For cortex.cpp CLI <-> cortex.cpp server: still communicate by IP Socket (port 1337 or 3928?) because we need to run a server to serve
• UDS is also supported in windows so can use it cross-platform
• pipe and shared memory between JS and C++ can be a pain (?)

• To use Pipe and Shared memory, we need to define our message/data. So, it is not a good idea.
• UDS can support http request, so I think we don't need to change much on the JS side.

This will be our improvement after we finish all the other tasks for cortex.cpp.
If we decide to support this, will need a discussion with Jan team (cc: @louis-jan , @marknguyen1302) for more details on UDS.

Was the decision UDS? If so can close this issue @vansangpfiev
