tomodachi

A framework to quickly create microservices using asyncio (async / await) on Python 3, with built-in support for HTTP, Websocket connections, AWS SNS+SQS event based messaging and RabbitMQ / AMQP topic exchange pub/sub for optional intra-service communication.

Built on Python 3 and used for fast-paced development

tomodachi is a library designed to make it easy for devs to build microservices using asyncio on Python.

Includes ready implementations to support handlers built for HTTP requests, websockets, AWS SNS+SQS and RabbitMQ / AMQP for 🚀 event based messaging, 🔗 intra-service communication and 🐶 watchdog handlers.

HTTP request handlers (API endpoints) are sent requests via the aiohttp server library. 🪢
Events and message handlers are hooked into a message bus, such as a queue, from for example AWS (Amazon Web Services) SNS+SQS (aiobotocore), RabbitMQ / AMQP (aioamqp), etc. 📡

Using the provided handler managers, the need for devs to interface with low-level libs directly should be lower, making it more of a breeze to focus on building the business logic. 🪄

tomodachi [友達] means friends — 🦊🐶🐻🐯🐮🐸🐍 — a suitable name for microservices working together. ✨✨

Additional features

🦸 ⋯ Graceful termination of consumers, listeners and tasks to ensure smooth deployments.
⏰ ⋯ Scheduled function execution (cron notation / time interval) for building watchdog handlers.
🍔 ⋯ Execution middleware interface for incoming HTTP requests and received messages.
💌 ⋯ Simple envelope building and parsing for both receiving and publishing messages.
📚 ⋯ Logging support via structlog with template loggers for both "dev console" and JSON output.
⛑️ ⋯ Loggers and handler managers built to support exception tracing, from for example Sentry.
📡 ⋯ SQS queues with filter policies for SNS topic subscriptions filtering messages on message attributes.
📦 ⋯ Supports SQS dead-letter queues via redrive policy – infra orchestration from service optional.
🌱 ⋯ Designed to be extendable – most kinds of transport layers or event sources can be added.

Already supported protocols / transport layers

tomodachi comes with some built-in triggers for your code, with the possibility to add additional subscriptions (ways of invoking service tasks / functions) by extending the tomodachi.Invoker class.

Currently available built-in supported protocols and transport methods:

• HTTP requests – including connection keep-alive
• WebSocket connections
• AWS SNS + SQS event based messaging – incl. message attributes, filter policy and DLQ support.
• RabbitMQ / AMQP pub/sub – topic exchange
• Scheduled function invocations – with cron notation or on timed intervals
