Rapid Response Proxy GoDoc

Speed up your web service / api requests with Rapid Response Proxy

Overview

Rapid Response Proxy (RRP) acts as a proxy for web service / api requests with the aim of speeding up the time taken to transport each request and return a response

At the moment this is facilitated through batch processing of requests but the goal of the project is broader and aims to explore other strategies to provide a more "rapid response"

A list of client libraries to RRP are maintained in the Wiki

Batch processing

RRP provides support for batch processing HTTP requests with a syntax similar to Google Cloud's batch processing which was in turn based on the OData syntax

A batch request is a single HTTP request which acts as a container using the multipart/mixed content type to aggregate individual HTTP requests as parts

Below is an example of what the raw multipart/mixed batch request looks like.

NOTE:

  • The x-rrp-timeout header specifies a timeout in seconds which is applied to all the requests contained in the batch
  • The individual requests making up the batch are included using the application/http content type
  • The individual requests must contain a Forwarded header specifying what protocol RRP should use (http/https)
POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/batch/multipartmixed HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=----2272f4a9-1e7c-4ef6-9b60-caddcf53de65

The batch response is returned in a similar fashion again using the multipart/mixed content type to act as a container for the individual HTTP responses which are returned in the same sequence as their associated requests.

NOTE:

  • Errors in transport are returned as HTTP status messages. For example timeouts are returned as 400 (Bad Request) errors e.g. HTTP/1.1 400 net/http: timeout awaiting response headers
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Installation

Like most Go programs RRP runs as a self contained binary. For distributions see [releases] (https://github.com/8legd/RRP/releases)

Windows

The recommended Windows setup is to run RRP as a service using [NSSM] (http://www.nssm.cc/)

  1. Install [NSSM] (http://www.nssm.cc/download).
  2. Download the binary distribution from [releases] (https://github.com/8legd/RRP/releases)
  3. Setup RRP to run as a service through NSSM:

nssm install RRP

3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5

Log files can be rotated through a scheduled task :
