[gRPC Go](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go) Proxy server
|
|
|
|
## Project Goal
|
|
|
|
Build a transparent reverse proxy for gRPC targets that will make it easy to expose gRPC services
|
|
over the internet. This includes:
|
|
* no needed knowledge of the semantics of requests exchanged in the call (independent rollouts)
|
|
* easy, declarative definition of backends and their mappings to frontends
|
|
* simple round-robin load balancing of inbound requests from a single connection to multiple backends
|
|
|
|
The project now exists as a **proof of concept**, with the key piece being the `proxy` package that
|
|
is a generic gRPC reverse proxy handler.
|
|
|
|
## Proxy Handler
|
|
|
|
The package [`proxy`](proxy/) contains a generic gRPC reverse proxy handler that allows a gRPC server to
|
|
not know about registered handlers or their data types. Please consult the docs, here's an exaple usage.
|
|
|
|
You can call `proxy.NewProxy` to create a `*grpc.Server` that proxies requests.
|
|
```go
|
|
proxy := proxy.NewProxy(clientConn)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
More advanced users will want to define a `StreamDirector` that can make more complex decisions on what
|
|
to do with the request.
|
|
```go
|
|
director = func(ctx context.Context, fullMethodName string) (context.Context, *grpc.ClientConn, error) {
|
|
md, _ := metadata.FromIncomingContext(ctx)
|
|
outCtx = metadata.NewOutgoingContext(ctx, md.Copy())
|
|
return outCtx, cc, nil
|
|
|
|
// Make sure we never forward internal services.
|
|
if strings.HasPrefix(fullMethodName, "/com.example.internal.") {
|
|
return outCtx, nil, status.Errorf(codes.Unimplemented, "Unknown method")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if ok {
|
|
// Decide on which backend to dial
|
|
if val, exists := md[":authority"]; exists && val[0] == "staging.api.example.com" {
|
|
// Make sure we use DialContext so the dialing can be cancelled/time out together with the context.
|
|
return outCtx, grpc.DialContext(ctx, "api-service.staging.svc.local", grpc.WithCodec(proxy.Codec())), nil
|
|
} else if val, exists := md[":authority"]; exists && val[0] == "api.example.com" {
|
|
return outCtx, grpc.DialContext(ctx, "api-service.prod.svc.local", grpc.WithCodec(proxy.Codec())), nil
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
return outCtx, nil, status.Errorf(codes.Unimplemented, "Unknown method")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you need to register it with a `grpc.Server`. The server may have other handlers that will be served
|
|
locally.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
server := grpc.NewServer(
|
|
grpc.CustomCodec(proxy.Codec()),
|
|
grpc.UnknownServiceHandler(proxy.TransparentHandler(director)))
|
|
pb_test.RegisterTestServiceServer(server, &testImpl{})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
To make debugging a bit simpler, there are some helpers.
|
|
|
|
`testservice` contains a method `TestTestServiceServerImpl` which performs a complete test against
|
|
the reference implementation of the `TestServiceServer`.
|
|
|
|
In `proxy_test.go`, the test framework spins up a `TestServiceServer` that it tests the proxy
|
|
against. To make debugging a bit simpler (eg. if the developer needs to step into
|
|
`google.golang.org/grpc` methods), this `TestServiceServer` can be provided by a server by
|
|
passing `-test-backend=addr` to `go test`. A simple, local-only implementation of
|
|
`TestServiceServer` exists in [`testservice/server`](./testservice/server).
