Architecture and terminology

[yuryu]

Here's the overall architecture of Triton:

In scope:

• Triton server
• Client SDKs for Java and Go

Out of scope:

• Game servers and/or gateway servers for each game service
• Game clients and direct access from game clients

Terminology

• User: developers who want to build services with Triton
• Server: the triton server running on Cloud Run
• Client: the client sdks that users use to integrate their services to Triton
• SDKs: client code to call triton services
• Game client: actual game client on PC and game consoles
• Game server: game servers or gateway servers that consumes the Triton APIs to store/load data

I'll add this to the docs directory once I get sign-offs. I'll update this issue as I get feedback.

Here is an architecture diagram that includes integration with pluggable interfaces for authentication and authorization in Triton.

One proposed change to support large-file uploads. gRPC streaming is currently not supported by Cloud Run, so one solution is to create a separate server that handles large file upload/download via HTTP. This creates some added overhead on the game server/gateway server perspective (needing to switch between protocols).
