wechaty-puppet-service

Wechaty Puppet Service is gRPC for Wechaty Puppet Provider.

For example, we can cloudify the Wechaty Puppet Provider wechaty-puppet-padlocal to a Wechaty Puppet Service by running our Wechaty Puppet Service Token Gateway.

If you want to learn more about what is Wechaty Puppet and Wechaty Puppet Service, we have a blog post to explain them in details at https://wechaty.js.org/2021/01/14/wechaty-puppet-service/
