 # emerwen
 
-## Handle?
-    * Bad data in TCP stream? What would this do?
+emerwen is a WIP host and service monitoring solution.
+
+emerwen stands for *shepherdess* in Quenya.
+
+It's architected as one Master server, which configures Workers who notify the
+Master about the status of their targets.
+
+gRPC is used for the Master<->Worker connection. A custom TCP protocol was
+planned and experimented with, but scrapped due to *me* not having done it before
+and not wanting to deal with the burden of managing all the connections manually etc, etc.
+tldr: gRPC was easier lmao.
 
 ## Future
-    * TLS for Master->Worker connection
-        * https://github.com/rustls/tokio-rustls
+    * TLS
     * Graceful shutdown for Workers when SIGINT is received
         * Send Master(s) a message that you're exiting, and wait for Master(s)
           to end the connection
