NEW !!! 👉 SRPC tools : build Workflow and SRPC projects easily.

Introduction

SRPC is an enterprise-level RPC system used by almost all online services in Sogou. It handles tens of billions of requests every day, covering searches, recommendations, advertising system, and other types of services.

Bases on Sogou C++ Workflow, it is an excellent choice for high-performance, low-latency, lightweight RPC systems. Contains AOP aspect-oriented modules that can report Metrics and Trace to a variety of cloud-native systems, such as OpenTelemetry, etc.

Its main features include:

• Support multiple RPC protocols: SRPC, bRPC, Thrift, tRPC
• Support multiple operating systems: Linux, MacOS, Windows
• Support several IDL formats: Protobuf, Thrift
• Support several data formats transparently: Json, Protobuf, Thrift Binary
• Support several compression formats, the framework automatically decompresses: gzip, zlib, snappy, lz4
• Support several communication protocols transparently: tcp, udp, sctp, tcp ssl
• With HTTP+JSON, you can communicate with the client or server in any language
• Use it together with Workflow Series and Parallel to facilitate the use of calculations and other asynchronous resources
• Perfectly compatible with all Workflow functions, such as name service, upstream and other components
• Report Tracing to OpenTelemetry
• Report Metrics to OpenTelemetry and Prometheus
• More features...

Installation

srpc has been packaged for Debian and Fedora. Therefore, we can install it from source code or from the package in the system.

reference: Linux, MacOS, Windows Installation and Compilation Guide

Quick Start

Let's quickly learn how to use it in a few steps.

For more detailed usage, please refer to Documents and Tutorial.

1. example.proto

syntax = "proto3";// You can use either proto2 or proto3. Both are supported by srpc

message EchoRequest {
    string message = 1;
    string name = 2;
};

message EchoResponse {
    string message = 1;
};

service Example {
    rpc Echo(EchoRequest) returns (EchoResponse);
};

2. generate code

protoc example.proto --cpp_out=./ --proto_path=./
srpc_generator protobuf ./example.proto ./

3. server.cc

#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include "example.srpc.h"

using namespace srpc;

class ExampleServiceImpl : public Example::Service
{
public:
    void Echo(EchoRequest *request, EchoResponse *response, RPCContext *ctx) override
    {
        response->set_message("Hi, " + request->name());
        printf("get_req:\n%s\nset_resp:\n%s\n",
                request->DebugString().c_str(), response->DebugString().c_str());
    }
};

void sig_handler(int signo) { }

int main()
{
    signal(SIGINT, sig_handler);
    signal(SIGTERM, sig_handler);

    SRPCServer server_tcp;
    SRPCHttpServer server_http;

    ExampleServiceImpl impl;
    server_tcp.add_service(&impl);
    server_http.add_service(&impl);

    server_tcp.start(1412);
    server_http.start(8811);
    getchar(); // press "Enter" to end.
    server_http.stop();
    server_tcp.stop();

    return 0;
}

4. client.cc

#include <stdio.h>
#include "example.srpc.h"

using namespace srpc;

int main()
{
    Example::SRPCClient client("127.0.0.1", 1412);
    EchoRequest req;
    req.set_message("Hello, srpc!");
    req.set_name("workflow");

    client.Echo(&req, [](EchoResponse *response, RPCContext *ctx) {
        if (ctx->success())
            printf("%s\n", response->DebugString().c_str());
        else
            printf("status[%d] error[%d] errmsg:%s\n",
                    ctx->get_status_code(), ctx->get_error(), ctx->get_errmsg());
    });

    getchar(); // press "Enter" to end.
    return 0;
}

5. make

These compile commands are only for Linux system. On other system, complete cmake in tutorial is recommanded.

g++ -o server server.cc example.pb.cc -std=c++11 -lsrpc
g++ -o client client.cc example.pb.cc -std=c++11 -lsrpc

6. run

Terminal 1:

./server

Terminal 2:

./client

We can also use CURL to post Http request:

curl 127.0.0.1:8811/Example/Echo -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{message:"from curl",name:"CURL"}'

Output of Terminal 1:

get_req:
message: "Hello, srpc!"
name: "workflow"

set_resp:
message: "Hi, workflow"

get_req:
message: "from curl"
name: "CURL"

set_resp:
message: "Hi, CURL"

Output of Terminal 2:

message: "Hi, workflow"

Output of CURL:

{"message":"Hi, CURL"}
