Package yarpc provides the YARPC service framework. With hundreds to thousands of services communicating with RPC, transport protocols (like HTTP and TChannel), encoding protocols (like JSON or Thrift), and peer choosers are the concepts that vary year over year. Separating these concerns allows services to change transports and wire protocols without changing call sites or request handlers, build proxies and wire protocol bridges, or experiment with load balancing strategies. YARPC is a toolkit for services and proxies. YARPC breaks RPC into interchangeable encodings, transports, and peer choosers. YARPC for Go provides reference implementations for HTTP/1.1, TChannel and gRPC transports, and also raw, JSON, Thrift, and Protobuf encodings. YARPC for Go provides a round robin peer chooser and experimental implementations for debug pages and rate limiting. YARPC for Go plans to provide a load balancer that uses a least-pending-requests strategy. Peer choosers can implement any strategy, including load balancing or sharding, in turn bound to any peer list updater. Regardless of transport, every RPC has some common properties: caller name, service name, procedure name, encoding name, deadline or TTL, headers, baggage (multi-hop headers), and tracing. Each RPC can also have an optional shard key, routing key, or routing delegate for advanced routing. YARPC transports use a shared API for capturing RPC metadata, so middleware can apply to requests over any transport. Each YARPC transport protocol can implement inbound handlers and outbound callers. Each of these can support different RPC types, like unary (request and response) or oneway (request and receipt) RPC. A future release of YARPC will add support for other RPC types including variations on streaming and pubsub.
Readme
A message passing platform for Go that lets you:
We recommend locking to SemVer range ^1 using Glide:
glide get 'go.uber.org/yarpc#^1'
This library is v1 and follows SemVer strictly.
No breaking changes will be made to exported APIs before v2.0.0 with the
exception of experimental packages.
Experimental packages reside within packages named x, and are not stable. This means their
APIs can break at any time. The intention here is to validate these APIs and iterate on them
by working closely with internal customers. Once stable, their contents will be moved out of
the containing x package and their APIs will be locked.
To start developing with yarpc-go, run the following command to setup your environment:
cd $GOPATH/src
git clone https://github.com/yarpc/yarpc-go.git go.uber.org/yarpc
make
To run tests into a pre-configured docker container, run the following command:
make test
To run tests locally, run the following command:
SUPPRESS_DOCKER=1 make test
Happy development!
