ConnectRPC Interceptors

A library of interceptors for ConnectRPC that I've found handy

Interceptors

• pkg/retry - An interceptor that allows you to retry RPCs that fail with specific error conditions.
  • Supports custom backoff strategies and custom functions for parsing errors to determine if you should retry.
  • Defaults to a 1 second backoff, 10 retry maximum, and automatic retries on connection errors.
• pkg/prom - An interceptor that adds some prometheus metrics to your RPCs to track latencies and request throughput.
  • Make sure to call RegisterMetrics(registry) with your prometheus registerer if you're not using the default registerer (if you are, promauto will take care of it).
  • Feel free to fork this one and tune the buckets or add additional metrics for your service.

Using an Interceptor

To plug any of these interceptors into your ConnectRPC Client or Server, you can initialize your server or client as follows:

import (
    "github.com/ericvolp12/connect-interceptors/pkg/retry"
)

interceptors := connect.WithInterceptors(retry.NewRetryInterceptor(nil, nil))

// For handlers:
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.Handle(greetv1connect.NewGreetServiceHandler(
  &greetServer{},
  interceptors,
))

// For clients:
client := greetv1connect.NewGreetServiceClient(
  http.DefaultClient,
  "https://api.acme.com",
  interceptors,
)
