Basic architecture:

All on-chain monitor process, routing and peer handler process scale in function of node operators computing ressources and needs.

Would their be an RPC layer anywhere?

Yes I’m thinking and working to have gRPC to communicate across proceess, that way you can also have a HTTPHandler built as it’s own process where web clients of all kinds can be connected. I think gRPC as default multi-process let also to build plugin process to adapt the deployment to enterprise concerns e.g promotheus server for data collection.
