summary: "Pipeline thread with 'Runs in RPC mode inside the Gateway' selected from a Grok tab; Claude explained RPC (Remote Procedure Call) and Gateway architecture in plain language using analogies — function call on a remote server, gateway as traffic cop; brief, clean, single-exchange."

# Claude-thread-2026-02-24-071 — RPC Mode in Gateway Explained
## Infrastructure vocabulary: Remote Procedure Call and Gateway architecture

> *February 24, 2026. Thread 071 of 162. Pipeline — 2 messages.*

---

## Summary

Daniel piped "Runs in RPC mode inside the Gateway" from a Grok tab. Claude explained RPC (Remote Procedure Call) as calling a remote function as if it were local — the computation happens elsewhere, the result comes back transparently. The Gateway was framed as a traffic director routing those calls between clients and services.

Single exchange, clean output, no follow-up. Daniel was reading OpenClaw or an adjacent framework's architecture documentation and needed the vocabulary to continue.
