It is now more common to see application distributed across multiple services, each representing a smaller subset of the wider functionality. Each service then manages non-functional requirements such as logging, retry-logic, distributed tracing, request limiting, authentication, etc... In the advent of the service mesh, and namely istio, many of these requirements may be handed off to the infrastructure, reducing the boilerplate required to implement new services. However there are still some application specific functions that cannot be extracted outside of the service. Therefore developers remain responsible for delivering these function across, potentially, many codebases.
This module attempts to alleviate this problem by generalising some of the
remaining non-functional requirements often present in modern services, and
integrating them into the Go standard library http package and the Google
grpc package.
You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.
With Go module support (Go 1.11+), simply add the following import
import "github.com/kapetndev/connect"to your code, and then go [build|run|test] will automatically fetch the
necessary dependencies.
Otherwise, to install the connect module, run the following command:
$ go get -u github.com/kapetndev/connectThis project is licensed under the MIT License.
