gRPC Go Middleware: interceptors, helpers, utilities.
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 either 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(),
)),
)

This code has been running in production since May 2016 as the basis of the gRPC micro services stack at Improbable.
Additional tooling will be added, and contributions are welcome.
