### Microservices Communication
|
|
|
|
#### Synchronous (REST/gRPC)
|
|
```go
|
|
// Service-to-service with circuit breaker
|
|
type UserClient struct {
|
|
client *http.Client
|
|
baseURL string
|
|
cb *circuitbreaker.CircuitBreaker
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (c *UserClient) GetUser(ctx context.Context, id string) (*User, error) {
|
|
return c.cb.Execute(func() (interface{}, error) {
|
|
req, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(
|
|
ctx,
|
|
http.MethodGet,
|
|
fmt.Sprintf("%s/users/%s", c.baseURL, id),
|
|
nil,
|
|
)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return nil, err
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
resp, err := c.client.Do(req)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return nil, err
|
|
}
|
|
defer resp.Body.Close()
|
|
|
|
if resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
|
|
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unexpected status: %d", resp.StatusCode)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
var user User
|
|
if err := json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&user); err != nil {
|
|
return nil, err
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return &user, nil
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Asynchronous (Message Queues)
|
|
```go
|
|
// Event-driven with NATS
|
|
type EventPublisher struct {
|
|
nc *nats.Conn
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (p *EventPublisher) PublishOrderCreated(ctx context.Context, order *Order) error {
|
|
event := OrderCreatedEvent{
|
|
OrderID: order.ID,
|
|
UserID: order.UserID,
|
|
Amount: order.Amount,
|
|
Timestamp: time.Now(),
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
data, err := json.Marshal(event)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return fmt.Errorf("marshal event: %w", err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if err := p.nc.Publish("orders.created", data); err != nil {
|
|
return fmt.Errorf("publish event: %w", err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Event consumer with worker pool
|
|
type OrderEventConsumer struct {
|
|
nc *nats.Conn
|
|
handler OrderEventHandler
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (c *OrderEventConsumer) Start(ctx context.Context) error {
|
|
sub, err := c.nc.QueueSubscribe("orders.created", "order-processor", func(msg *nats.Msg) {
|
|
var event OrderCreatedEvent
|
|
if err := json.Unmarshal(msg.Data, &event); err != nil {
|
|
log.Error().Err(err).Msg("failed to unmarshal event")
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if err := c.handler.Handle(ctx, &event); err != nil {
|
|
log.Error().Err(err).Msg("failed to handle event")
|
|
// Implement retry or DLQ logic
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
msg.Ack()
|
|
})
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
<-ctx.Done()
|
|
sub.Unsubscribe()
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Resilience Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Circuit Breaker
|
|
```go
|
|
type CircuitBreaker struct {
|
|
maxFailures int
|
|
timeout time.Duration
|
|
state State
|
|
failures int
|
|
lastAttempt time.Time
|
|
mu sync.RWMutex
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type State int
|
|
|
|
const (
|
|
StateClosed State = iota
|
|
StateOpen
|
|
StateHalfOpen
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func (cb *CircuitBreaker) Execute(fn func() (interface{}, error)) (interface{}, error) {
|
|
cb.mu.Lock()
|
|
defer cb.mu.Unlock()
|
|
|
|
// Check if circuit is open
|
|
if cb.state == StateOpen {
|
|
if time.Since(cb.lastAttempt) > cb.timeout {
|
|
cb.state = StateHalfOpen
|
|
} else {
|
|
return nil, ErrCircuitOpen
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Execute function
|
|
result, err := fn()
|
|
cb.lastAttempt = time.Now()
|
|
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
cb.failures++
|
|
if cb.failures >= cb.maxFailures {
|
|
cb.state = StateOpen
|
|
}
|
|
return nil, err
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Success - reset circuit
|
|
cb.failures = 0
|
|
cb.state = StateClosed
|
|
return result, nil
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Retry with Exponential Backoff
|
|
```go
|
|
func RetryWithBackoff(ctx context.Context, maxRetries int, fn func() error) error {
|
|
backoff := time.Second
|
|
|
|
for i := 0; i < maxRetries; i++ {
|
|
if err := fn(); err == nil {
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
select {
|
|
case <-ctx.Done():
|
|
return ctx.Err()
|
|
case <-time.After(backoff):
|
|
backoff *= 2
|
|
if backoff > 30*time.Second {
|
|
backoff = 30 * time.Second
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return fmt.Errorf("max retries exceeded")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Bulkhead Pattern
|
|
```go
|
|
// Isolate resources to prevent cascade failures
|
|
type Bulkhead struct {
|
|
semaphore chan struct{}
|
|
timeout time.Duration
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func NewBulkhead(maxConcurrent int, timeout time.Duration) *Bulkhead {
|
|
return &Bulkhead{
|
|
semaphore: make(chan struct{}, maxConcurrent),
|
|
timeout: timeout,
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (b *Bulkhead) Execute(ctx context.Context, fn func() error) error {
|
|
select {
|
|
case b.semaphore <- struct{}{}:
|
|
defer func() { <-b.semaphore }()
|
|
|
|
done := make(chan error, 1)
|
|
go func() {
|
|
done <- fn()
|
|
}()
|
|
|
|
select {
|
|
case err := <-done:
|
|
return err
|
|
case <-time.After(b.timeout):
|
|
return ErrTimeout
|
|
case <-ctx.Done():
|
|
return ctx.Err()
|
|
}
|
|
case <-time.After(b.timeout):
|
|
return ErrBulkheadFull
|
|
case <-ctx.Done():
|
|
return ctx.Err()
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Observability
|
|
|
|
### Structured Logging
|
|
```go
|
|
import "github.com/rs/zerolog"
|
|
|
|
// Request-scoped logger
|
|
func LoggerMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
|
|
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
|
|
reqID := uuid.New().String()
|
|
|
|
logger := log.With().
|
|
Str("request_id", reqID).
|
|
Str("method", r.Method).
|
|
Str("path", r.URL.Path).
|
|
Str("remote_addr", r.RemoteAddr).
|
|
Logger()
|
|
|
|
ctx := logger.WithContext(r.Context())
|
|
|
|
start := time.Now()
|
|
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
|
|
duration := time.Since(start)
|
|
|
|
logger.Info().
|
|
Dur("duration", duration).
|
|
Msg("request completed")
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Distributed Tracing
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel"
|
|
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type UserService struct {
|
|
repo UserRepository
|
|
tracer trace.Tracer
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (s *UserService) GetUser(ctx context.Context, id string) (*User, error) {
|
|
ctx, span := s.tracer.Start(ctx, "UserService.GetUser")
|
|
defer span.End()
|
|
|
|
span.SetAttributes(
|
|
attribute.String("user.id", id),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
user, err := s.repo.FindByID(ctx, id)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
span.RecordError(err)
|
|
return nil, err
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
span.SetAttributes(
|
|
attribute.String("user.email", user.Email),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
return user, nil
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Metrics Collection
|
|
```go
|
|
import "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus"
|
|
|
|
var (
|
|
httpRequestsTotal = prometheus.NewCounterVec(
|
|
prometheus.CounterOpts{
|
|
Name: "http_requests_total",
|
|
Help: "Total number of HTTP requests",
|
|
},
|
|
[]string{"method", "endpoint", "status"},
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
httpRequestDuration = prometheus.NewHistogramVec(
|
|
prometheus.HistogramOpts{
|
|
Name: "http_request_duration_seconds",
|
|
Help: "HTTP request duration in seconds",
|
|
Buckets: prometheus.DefBuckets,
|
|
},
|
|
[]string{"method", "endpoint"},
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func MetricsMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
|
|
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
|
|
start := time.Now()
|
|
|
|
rw := &responseWriter{ResponseWriter: w, statusCode: http.StatusOK}
|
|
next.ServeHTTP(rw, r)
|
|
|
|
duration := time.Since(start).Seconds()
|
|
|
|
httpRequestsTotal.WithLabelValues(
|
|
r.Method,
|
|
r.URL.Path,
|
|
fmt.Sprintf("%d", rw.statusCode),
|
|
).Inc()
|
|
|
|
httpRequestDuration.WithLabelValues(
|
|
r.Method,
|
|
r.URL.Path,
|
|
).Observe(duration)
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Database Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Repository Pattern
|
|
```go
|
|
type UserRepository interface {
|
|
FindByID(ctx context.Context, id string) (*User, error)
|
|
FindByEmail(ctx context.Context, email string) (*User, error)
|
|
Create(ctx context.Context, user *User) error
|
|
Update(ctx context.Context, user *User) error
|
|
Delete(ctx context.Context, id string) error
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// PostgreSQL implementation
|
|
type PostgresUserRepository struct {
|
|
db *sql.DB
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (r *PostgresUserRepository) FindByID(ctx context.Context, id string) (*User, error) {
|
|
ctx, span := tracer.Start(ctx, "PostgresUserRepository.FindByID")
|
|
defer span.End()
|
|
|
|
query := `SELECT id, email, name, created_at FROM users WHERE id = $1`
|
|
|
|
var user User
|
|
err := r.db.QueryRowContext(ctx, query, id).Scan(
|
|
&user.ID,
|
|
&user.Email,
|
|
&user.Name,
|
|
&user.CreatedAt,
|
|
)
|
|
if err == sql.ErrNoRows {
|
|
return nil, ErrUserNotFound
|
|
}
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return nil, fmt.Errorf("query user: %w", err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return &user, nil
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Unit of Work Pattern
|
|
```go
|
|
type UnitOfWork struct {
|
|
db *sql.DB
|
|
tx *sql.Tx
|
|
done bool
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (uow *UnitOfWork) Begin(ctx context.Context) error {
|
|
tx, err := uow.db.BeginTx(ctx, nil)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return fmt.Errorf("begin transaction: %w", err)
|
|
}
|
|
uow.tx = tx
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (uow *UnitOfWork) Commit() error {
|
|
if uow.done {
|
|
return ErrTransactionDone
|
|
}
|
|
uow.done = true
|
|
return uow.tx.Commit()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (uow *UnitOfWork) Rollback() error {
|
|
if uow.done {
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
uow.done = true
|
|
return uow.tx.Rollback()
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deployment Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Health Checks
|
|
```go
|
|
type HealthChecker struct {
|
|
checks map[string]HealthCheck
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type HealthCheck func(context.Context) error
|
|
|
|
func (hc *HealthChecker) AddCheck(name string, check HealthCheck) {
|
|
hc.checks[name] = check
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (hc *HealthChecker) Check(ctx context.Context) map[string]string {
|
|
results := make(map[string]string)
|
|
|
|
for name, check := range hc.checks {
|
|
if err := check(ctx); err != nil {
|
|
results[name] = fmt.Sprintf("unhealthy: %v", err)
|
|
} else {
|
|
results[name] = "healthy"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return results
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Example checks
|
|
func DatabaseHealthCheck(db *sql.DB) HealthCheck {
|
|
return func(ctx context.Context) error {
|
|
return db.PingContext(ctx)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func RedisHealthCheck(client *redis.Client) HealthCheck {
|
|
return func(ctx context.Context) error {
|
|
return client.Ping(ctx).Err()
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Graceful Shutdown
|
|
```go
|
|
func main() {
|
|
server := &http.Server{
|
|
Addr: ":8080",
|
|
Handler: routes(),
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Start server in goroutine
|
|
go func() {
|
|
if err := server.ListenAndServe(); err != nil && err != http.ErrServerClosed {
|
|
log.Fatal().Err(err).Msg("server error")
|
|
}
|
|
}()
|
|
|
|
// Wait for interrupt signal
|
|
quit := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
|
|
signal.Notify(quit, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)
|
|
<-quit
|
|
|
|
log.Info().Msg("shutting down server...")
|
|
|
|
// Graceful shutdown with timeout
|
|
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
|
|
defer cancel()
|
|
|
|
if err := server.Shutdown(ctx); err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal().Err(err).Msg("server forced to shutdown")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
log.Info().Msg("server exited")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
### Configuration Management
|
|
- Use environment variables or config files
|
|
- Validate configuration on startup
|
|
- Support multiple environments (dev, staging, prod)
|
|
- Use structured configuration with validation
|
|
- Secret management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
- TLS/SSL for all external communication
|
|
- Authentication (JWT, OAuth2)
|
|
- Authorization (RBAC, ABAC)
|
|
- Input validation and sanitization
|
|
- SQL injection prevention
|
|
- Rate limiting and DDoS protection
|
|
|
|
### Monitoring and Alerting
|
|
- Application metrics (Prometheus)
|
|
- Infrastructure metrics (node exporter)
|
|
- Alerting rules (Alertmanager)
|
|
- Dashboards (Grafana)
|
|
- Log aggregation (ELK, Loki)
|
|
|
|
### Deployment Strategies
|
|
- Blue-green deployment
|
|
- Canary releases
|
|

|
|
|
|
## When to Use This Agent
|
|
|
|
Use this agent PROACTIVELY for:
|
|
- Designing microservices architecture
|
|
- Reviewing system design
|
|
- Planning scalability strategies
|
|
- Implementing resilience patterns
|
|
- Setting up observability
|
|
- Optimizing distributed system performance
|
|
- Designing API contracts
|
|
- Planning database schema and access patterns
|
|
- Infrastructure as code design
|
|
- Cloud-native architecture decisions
|
|
|
|
## Decision Framework
|
|
|
|
When making architectural decisions:
|
|
1. **Understand requirements**: Functional and non-functional
|
|
2. **Consider trade-offs**: CAP theorem, consistency vs. availability
|
|
3. **Evaluate complexity**: KISS principle, avoid over-engineering
|
|
4. **Plan for failure**: Design for resilience
|
|
5. **Think operationally**: Monitoring, debugging, maintenance
|
|
6. **Iterate**: Start simple, evolve based on needs
|
|
|
|
Remember: Good architecture balances current needs with future flexibility while maintaining simplicity and operability.
