Package suture provides Erlang-like supervisor trees. This implements Erlang-esque supervisor trees, as adapted for Go. This is intended to be an industrial-strength implementation, but it has not yet been deployed in a hostile environment. (It's headed there, though.) Supervisor Tree -> SuTree -> suture -> holds your code together when it's trying to fall apart. Why use Suture? Suture has 100% test coverage, and is golint clean. This doesn't prove it free of bugs, but it shows I care. A blog post describing the design decisions is available at http://www.jerf.org/iri/post/2930 . To idiomatically use Suture, create a Supervisor which is your top level "application" supervisor. This will often occur in your program's "main" function. Create "Service"s, which implement the Service interface. .Add() them to your Supervisor. Supervisors are also services, so you can create a tree structure here, depending on the exact combination of restarts you want to create. As a special case, when adding Supervisors to Supervisors, the "sub" supervisor will have the "super" supervisor's Log function copied. This allows you to set one log function on the "top" supervisor, and have it propagate down to all the sub-supervisors. This also allows libraries or modules to provide Supervisors without having to commit their users to a particular logging method. Finally, as what is probably the last line of your main() function, call .Serve() on your top level supervisor. This will start all the services you've defined. See the Example for an example, using a simple service that serves out incrementing integers.
Readme
Suture provides Erlang-ish supervisor trees for Go. "Supervisor trees" -> "sutree" -> "suture" -> holds your code together when it's trying to die.
This library has hit maturity, and isn't expected to be changed radically. This can also be imported via gopkg.in/thejerf/suture.v1 .
It is intended to deal gracefully with the real failure cases that can occur with supervision trees (such as burning all your CPU time endlessly restarting dead services), while also making no unnecessary demands on the "service" code, and providing hooks to perform adequate logging with in a production environment.
A blog post describing the design decisions is available.
This module is fully covered with godoc, including an example, usage, and everything else you might expect from a README.md on GitHub. (DRY.)
Starting with the commit after ac7cf8591b, I will be signing this repository with the "jerf" keybase account. If you are viewing this repository through GitHub, you should see the commits as showing as "verified" in the commit view.
(Bear in mind that due to the nature of how git commit signing works, there may be runs of unverified commits; what matters is that the top one is signed.)
One of the big wins the Erlang community has with their pervasive OTP support is that it makes it easy for them to distribute libraries that easily fit into the OTP paradigm. It ought to someday be considered a good idea to distribute libraries that provide some sort of supervisor tree functionality out of the box. It is possible to provide this functionality without explicitly depending on the Suture library.
suture uses semantic versioning.
