grabbit

A lightweight transactional message bus on top of RabbitMQ supporting:

1. Supported messaging semantics
   • One Way
   • Duplex
   • Publish/Subscribe
   • Request/Reply (RPC)
2. Long running processes via the Saga pattern
3. Retry and backoffs
4. Publisher confirms
5. Reliable messaging and local service transactivity via Transaction Outbox pattern
6. Deadlettering

Planned:

1. Deduplication of inbound messages

Supported transactional resources

1. MySql (InnoDB > 8.0)

Supported serializers

1. gob
2. Avro
3. Protobuf

Instrumentation

1. Opentracing

Usage

The following outlines the basic usage of grabbit. For a complete view of how you would use grabbit including how to write saga's and handle deadlettering refer to grabbit/tests package

import (
  "github.com/rhinof/grabbit/gbus"
  "github.com/rhinof/grabbit/gbus/builder"
)

Define a message

type SomeMessage struct {}

func(SomeMessage) SchemaName() string{
   return "some.unique.namespace.somemessage"
}

Creating a transactional GBus instance

gb := builder.
        New().
    Bus("connection string to RabbitMQ").
    Txnl("mysql", "connection string to mysql").
    Build("name of your service")

Register a command handler

handler := func(invocation gbus.Invocation, message *gbus.BusMessage) error
    cmd, ok := message.Payload.(SomeCommand)
    if ok {
      fmt.Printf("handler invoked with  message %v", cmd)
            return nil
    }

        return fmt.Errorf("failed to handle message")
  }

gb.HandleMessage(SomeCommand{}, handler)

Register an event handler

eventHandler := func(invocation gbus.Invocation, message *gbus.BusMessage) {
    evt, ok := message.Payload.(SomeEvent)
    if ok {
      fmt.Printf("handler invoked with event %v", evt)
            return nil
    }

        return fmt.Errorf("failed to handle event")
  }

gb.HandleEvent("name of exchange", "name of topic", SomeEvent{}, eventHandler)

Start the bus

gb.Start()
defer gb.Shutsown()

Send a command

gb.Send(context.Background(), "name of service you are sending the command to", gbus.NewBusMessage(SomeCommand{}))

Publish an event

gb.Publish(context.Background(), "name of exchange", "name of topic", gbus.NewBusMessage(SomeEvent{}))

RPC style call

request := gbus.NewBusMessage(SomeRPCRequest{})
reply := gbus.NewBusMessage(SomeRPCReply{})
timeOut := 2 * time.Second

reply, e := gb.RPC(context.Background(), "name of service you are sending the request to", request, reply, timeOut)

if e != nil{
  fmt.Printf("rpc call failed with error %v", e)
} else{
  fmt.Printf("rpc call returned with reply %v", reply)
}

Testing

1. make sure to first: docker-compose up -V -d
2. then to run the tests: go test ./...
