Show HN: Pronto – Java, Proto, Mongo Connector

Hey everyone! We've started making heavy use of both gRPC and MongoDB at Caper. When we first started using MongoDB we manually created pojo classes and mapped our protos into Java classes before saving/loading from our DB. This was error prone, very time consumer, and gross.

We built this library so we could have an easy way to describe an API, a database storage format, and with next to no effort plumb data from APIs to persistence and back. This lets us focus on getting our application/service logic correct by leaving the storage/transport of our data as an implementation detail.

The API is messy and needs a lot of cleanup. I have a lot of TODOs in the code detailing what we plan on doing internally. We're more than happy to accept MRs and feature requests from the public.
