Hedwig library for Rust

What is it?

Hedwig is a inter-service communication bus that works on AWS and GCP, while keeping things pretty simple and straight forward. It uses json schema draft v4 for schema validation so all incoming and outgoing messages are validated against pre-defined schema.

Hedwig allows separation of concerns between consumers and publishers so your services are loosely coupled, and the contract is enforced by the schema validation. Hedwig may also be used to build asynchronous APIs.

Support exists for Python and Golang.

For intra-service messaging, see Taskhawk.

Quick Start

Installation

Add to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
hedwig = "*"

To use Google Publisher, use feature google. There's also a mock publisher provided for testing that can be accessed using feature mock.

Usage

    let schema = r#"
{
  "$id": "https://hedwig.standard.ai/schema",
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
  "description": "Example Schema",
  "schemas": {
      "user-created": {
          "1.*": {
              "description": "A new user was created",
              "type": "object",
              "x-versions": [
                  "1.0"
              ],
              "required": [
                  "user_id"
              ],
              "properties": {
                  "user_id": {
                      "$ref": "https://hedwig.standard.ai/schema#/definitions/UserId/1.0"
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  },
  "definitions": {
      "UserId": {
          "1.0": {
              "type": "string"
          }
      }
  }
}"#;

    fn router(t: &MessageType, v: &MajorVersion) -> Option<&'static str> {
        match (t, v) {
            (&MessageType::UserCreated, &MajorVersion(1)) => Some("dev-user-created-v1"),
            _ => None,
        }
    }

    let hedwig = Hedwig::new(
        schema,
        "myapp",
        google_credentials,
        google_project,
        router,
    )?;

    let message = hedwig.message(
        MessageType::UserCreated,
        Version(MajorVersion(1), MinorVersion(0)),
        UserCreatedData { user_id: "U_123" },
    )?;

    let message_id = message.id;

    let publish_id = hedwig.publish(message)?;
    println!(
        "Published message {} with pubsub id: {}",
        message_id, publish_id
    );

There's also a full running example in the repo.
