Apache Dubbo Project

Build and Test For PR Codecov Maven License Average time to resolve an issue Percentage of issues still open

Apache Dubbo is a high-performance, Java-based open-source RPC framework. Please visit the official site for the quick start guide and documentation, as well as the wiki for news, FAQ, and release notes.

We are now collecting Dubbo user info to help us to improve Dubbo further. Kindly support us by providing your usage information on Wanted: who's using dubbo, thanks :)

Architecture

Architecture

Features

  • Transparent interface based RPC
  • Intelligent load balancing
  • Automatic service registration and discovery
  • High extensibility
  • Runtime traffic routing
  • Visualized service governance

Getting started

The following code snippet comes from Dubbo Samples. You may clone the sample project and step into the dubbo-samples-api subdirectory before proceeding.

git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-samples.git
cd dubbo-samples/1-basic/dubbo-samples-api

There's a README file under dubbo-samples-api directory. We recommend referencing the samples in that directory by following the below-mentioned instructions:

Maven dependency

<properties>
    <dubbo.version>3.2.11</dubbo.version>
</properties>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.dubbo</groupId>
        <artifactId>dubbo</artifactId>
        <version>${dubbo.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.dubbo</groupId>
        <artifactId>dubbo-dependencies-zookeeper</artifactId>
        <version>${dubbo.version}</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Define service interfaces

package org.apache.dubbo.samples.api;

public interface GreetingsService {
    String sayHi(String name);
}

See api/GreetingsService.java on GitHub.

Implement service interface for the provider

package org.apache.dubbo.samples.provider;

import org.apache.dubbo.samples.api.GreetingsService;

public class GreetingsServiceImpl implements GreetingsService {
    @Override
    public String sayHi(String name) {
        return "hi, " + name;
    }
}

See provider/GreetingsServiceImpl.java on GitHub.

Start service provider

package org.apache.dubbo.samples.provider;


import org.apache.dubbo.config.ApplicationConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.config.RegistryConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.config.ServiceConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.samples.api.GreetingsService;

import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;

public class Application {
    private static String zookeeperHost = System.getProperty("zookeeper.address", "127.0.0.1");

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ServiceConfig<GreetingsService> service = new ServiceConfig<>();
        service.setApplication(new ApplicationConfig("first-dubbo-provider"));
        service.setRegistry(new RegistryConfig("zookeeper://" + zookeeperHost + ":2181"));
        service.setInterface(GreetingsService.class);
        service.setRef(new GreetingsServiceImpl());
        service.export();

        System.out.println("dubbo service started");
        new CountDownLatch(1).await();
    }
}

See provider/Application.java on GitHub.

Build and run the provider

mvn clean package
mvn -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.dubbo.samples.provider.Application exec:java

Call remote service in the consumer

package org.apache.dubbo.samples.client;


import org.apache.dubbo.config.ApplicationConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.config.ReferenceConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.config.RegistryConfig;
import org.apache.dubbo.samples.api.GreetingsService;

public class Application {
    private static String zookeeperHost = System.getProperty("zookeeper.address", "127.0.0.1");

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ReferenceConfig<GreetingsService> reference = new ReferenceConfig<>();
        reference.setApplication(new ApplicationConfig("first-dubbo-consumer"));
        reference.setRegistry(new RegistryConfig("zookeeper://" + zookeeperHost + ":2181"));
        reference.setInterface(GreetingsService.class);
        GreetingsService service = reference.get();
        String message = service.sayHi("dubbo");
        System.out.println(message);
    }
}

See client/Application.java on GitHub.

Build and run the consumer

mvn clean package
mvn -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.dubbo.samples.client.Application exec:java

The consumer will print out hi, dubbo on the screen.

Next steps

Building

If you want to try out the cutting-edge features, you can build with the following commands. (Java 1.8 is needed to build the master branch)

  mvn clean install

Recommended Test Environment

To avoid intermittent test failures (i.e., flaky tests), it is recommended to have a machine or virtual machine with the following specifications:

  • Minimum of 2CPUs.
  • Minimum of 2Gb of RAM.

How does the Dubbo Community collaborate?

The Dubbo Community primarily communicates on GitHub through issues, discussions, and pull requests.

  • Issues: We use issues to track bugs and tasks. Any work-related item is associated with an issue.
  • Discussions: We use discussions for questions, early proposals, and announcements. Any idea-related item is associated with a discussion.
  • Pull Requests: We use pull requests to merge a set of changes from contributors into Dubbo.

We have also implemented a project board to monitor all the items.

Any essential changes should be discussed on the mailing list before they happen.
