With gRPC, much like with other protocols, connections are only
preserved in keepalive cache if there are no pending frames to be
sent or processed when the request is complete. It is expected
that some connections might be closed if there are occasional
pending frames.
If you see keepalive not working for you at all, this might be
because of unfortunate behaviour of your gRPC server. If this is
indeed the case, please provide more details about the gRPC
library you are using and the gRPC server code. An example code
gRPC backend server would be ideal.
