+# KUKSA.val gRPC interfaces
+
+## kuksa.val.v1
+
+This interface describes the unified gRPC interface which is split in 2 protobuf definitions:
+- [val.proto](../../proto/kuksa/val/v1/val.proto) holding the `VAL` service and associated RPC definitions.
+- [types.proto](../../proto/kuksa/val/v1/types.proto) holding the core data types to support VSS needs.
+
+This interface is currently implemented by `kuksa-databroker` and shall soon be implemented by `kuksa-val-server`.
+
+### Error handling (currently)
+
+`Get` and `Set` RPCs rely on `{Get,Set}Response` protobuf message fields to communicate errors i.e.:
+```protobuf
+repeated DataEntryError errors = 2;
+Error error                    = 3;
+```
+
+This means the caller of either `Get` or `Set` needs to check those two fields to decide if there is an error or not.
+It is easy to miss for someone who would want to implement `Get` or `Set` and could lead to hidden errors.
+
+`Subscribe` and `GetServerInfo` don't have such error fields in their respective `*Response` protobuf messages.
+Instead, errors if any will result in an exception being raised (e.g. `grpc.aio.AioRpcError` in python's case) and that
+already comes without further efforts with protoc-generated code.
+
+In some cases though, `Get` and `Set` might still raise `grpc.aio.AioRpcError` e.g. because of network errors.
+This means the client needs to handle both `grpc.aio.AioRpcError` errors and response-message-based errors.
+
+What response-message-based errors do provide however are much more detailed errors which is beneficial for the user.
+
+### Error handling (proposal)
+
+In order not to miss errors without sacrificing details in errors' payload, we could:
+- Move detailed errors into grpc's `Status.details` which accepts user-defined payloads (see [gRPC error model](https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/errors#error_model))
+- Remove `{Get,Set}Response.error(s)?` fields
+
+This way clients would only need to care about `grpc.aio.AioRpcError` that might be raised.
+
+## sdv.databroker.v1
+
+This interface describes the gRPC interface one can use to interact solely with `kuksa-databroker`.
+It is not implemented by `kuksa-val-server` and is not planned to be in the future.
+
+- [broker.proto](../../kuksa_databroker/proto/sdv/databroker/v1/broker.proto)
+- [types.proto](../../kuksa_databroker/proto/sdv/databroker/v1/types.proto)
+- [collector.proto](../../kuksa_databroker/proto/sdv/databroker/v1/collector.proto)
+
+## kuksa.proto (deprecated)
+
+[kuksa.proto](../../kuksa-val-server/protos/kuksa.proto)
+
+This interface is only implemented by `kuksa-val-server` which shall soon implement `kuksa.val.v1` instead.
