Go gRPC Middleware

gRPC Go Middleware: interceptors, helpers, utilities.

⚠️ Status

Version v2 is about to be released, with migration guide, which will replace v1. Try v2 and give us feedback!

Version v1 is currently in deprecation mode, which means only critical and safety bug fixes will be merged.

Middleware

gRPC Go recently acquired support for Interceptors, i.e. middleware that is executed either on the gRPC Server before the request is passed onto the user's application logic, or on the gRPC client around the user call. It is a perfect way to implement common patterns: auth, logging, message, validation, retries, or monitoring.

These are generic building blocks that make it easy to build multiple microservices easily. The purpose of this repository is to act as a go-to point for such reusable functionality. It contains some of them itself, but also will link to useful external repos.

grpc_middleware itself provides support for chaining interceptors, here's an example:

import "github.com/grpc-ecosystem/go-grpc-middleware"

myServer := grpc.NewServer(
    grpc.StreamInterceptor(grpc_middleware.ChainStreamServer(
        grpc_ctxtags.StreamServerInterceptor(),
        grpc_opentracing.StreamServerInterceptor(),
        grpc_prometheus.StreamServerInterceptor,
        grpc_zap.StreamServerInterceptor(zapLogger),
        grpc_auth.StreamServerInterceptor(myAuthFunction),
        grpc_recovery.StreamServerInterceptor(),
    )),
    grpc.UnaryInterceptor(grpc_middleware.ChainUnaryServer(
        grpc_ctxtags.UnaryServerInterceptor(),
        grpc_opentracing.UnaryServerInterceptor(),
        grpc_prometheus.UnaryServerInterceptor,
        grpc_zap.UnaryServerInterceptor(zapLogger),
        grpc_auth.UnaryServerInterceptor(myAuthFunction),
        grpc_recovery.UnaryServerInterceptor(),
    )),
)

Interceptors

Please send a PR to add new interceptors or middleware to this list

Auth

• grpc_auth - a customizable (via AuthFunc) piece of auth middleware

Logging

• grpc_ctxtags - a library that adds a Tag map to context, with data populated from request body
• grpc_zap - integration of zap logging library into gRPC handlers.
• grpc_logrus - integration of logrus logging library into gRPC handlers.
• grpc_kit - integration of go-kit/log logging library into gRPC handlers.
• grpc_grpc_logsettable - a wrapper around grpclog.LoggerV2 that allows to replace loggers in runtime (thread-safe).

Monitoring

• grpc_prometheus⚡ - Prometheus client-side and server-side monitoring middleware
• otgrpc⚡ - OpenTracing client-side and server-side interceptors
• grpc_opentracing - OpenTracing client-side and server-side interceptors with support for streaming and handler-returned tags
• otelgrpc - OpenTelemetry client-side and server-side interceptors

Client

• grpc_retry - a generic gRPC response code retry mechanism, client-side middleware

Server

• grpc_validator - codegen inbound message validation from .proto options
• grpc_recovery - turn panics into gRPC errors
• ratelimit - grpc rate limiting by your own limiter
