Protect your RPCs with ServiceCall4j

Service-Call-4j

A library for adding resiliency capabilities to your RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) in a declarative way. The capabilities provided by this library are the following:

• Caching
• Monitoring
• Retrying
• Timeout
• Throttling
• Circuit Breaker

Install

• Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.dimosr</groupId>
    <artifactId>ServiceCall4j</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

• Gradle

compile 'com.github.dimosr:ServiceCall4j:1.1.0'

Getting Started

1. Make sure the call you want to enhance implements the ServiceCall interface provided by Service-Call-4j:

public interface ServiceCall<REQUEST, RESPONSE> {
    RESPONSE call(REQUEST request);
}

...

public class MyAdjustedHelloWorldCall implements ServiceCall<String, String> {
	String call(String input) {
		return "Hello " + input;
	}
}

2. Use the provided Builder to build your enhanced ServiceCall:

ServiceCall<String, String> enhancedHelloWorldCall = new ServiceCallBuilder<>(new MyAdjustedHelloWorldCall())
                .withCircuitBreaker(15, 5, 3, 300)
                .withCache(cache)
                .withMonitoring((i, d) -> System.out.println("Duration: " + d.toMillis()))
                .withTimeouts(Duration.ofMillis(1), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10))
                .withThrottling(100)
                .withRetrying(false, 2)
                .build();

3. Perform your calls

String response = enhancedHelloWorldCall.call("World");
