DevCycle Go Server SDK.

This SDK supports both cloud bucketing (requests outbound to https://bucketing-api.devcycle.com) as well as local bucketing (requests to a local bucketing engine self-contained in this SDK).

Installation

go get "github.com/devcyclehq/go-server-sdk/v2"

package main
import "github.com/devcyclehq/go-server-sdk/v2"

Getting Started

    sdkKey := os.Getenv("DEVCYCLE_SERVER_SDK_KEY")
	user := devcycle.User{UserId: "test"}

	options := devcycle.Options{
		EnableEdgeDB:                 false,
		EnableCloudBucketing:         false,
		EventFlushIntervalMS:         0,
		ConfigPollingIntervalMS:      10 * time.Second,
		RequestTimeout:               10 * time.Second,
		DisableAutomaticEventLogging: false,
		DisableCustomEventLogging:    false,
	}

	client, _ := devcycle.NewClient(sdkKey, &options)

Usage

To find usage documentation, visit our docs.

Testing

This SDK is supported by our test harness, a test suite shared between all DevCycle SDKs for consistency.

Unit tests can be run with the standard Go testing tools, or with make test. They are run automatically on PRs with the Go race detector enabled. To reproduce this locally, run with RACE=1 make test. Some race detector errors might only show up on Github actions due to differences in how quickly tests are executed.

Configuration

Configuration of the SDK is done through the Options struct.

Logging

By default, logging is disabled to avoid overhead and noise in your logs. To enable it for debugging the SDK, set the devcycle_debug_logging build tag when compiling your project:

go build -tags devcycle_debug_logging ...

Cloud Bucketing

The following options are available when you are using the SDK in Cloud Bucketing mode.

Option	Type	Description	Default
EnableCloudBucketing	bool	Sets the SDK to Cloud Bucketing mode	false
EnableEdgeDB	bool	Turns on EdgeDB support for Cloud Bucketing	false
BucketingAPIURI	string	The base URI for communicating with the DevCycle Cloud Bucketing service. Can be set if you need to proxy traffic through your own server	https://bucketing-api.devcycle.com
Logger	util.Logger	Allows you to set a custom logger to manage output from the SDK. The default logger will write to stdout and stderr	nil

Local Bucketing

The following options are available when you are using the SDK in Local Bucketing mode.

Option	Type	Description	Default
OnInitializedChannel	chan bool	A callback channel to get notified when the SDK is fully initialized and ready to use	nil
EventFlushIntervalMS	time.Duration	How frequently events are flushed to the backend. value must be between 500ms and 60s	30000
ConfigPollingIntervalMS	time.Duration	How frequently the SDK will attempt to reload the feature config. value must be > 1s	10000
RequestTimeout	time.Duration	Maximum time to spend retrieving project configurations. value must be > 5s	5000
DisableAutomaticEventLogging	bool	Turn off tracking of automated variable events	false
DisableCustomEventLogging	bool	Turns off tracking of custom events submitted via the client.Track()	false
MaxEventQueueSize	int	Maximum size of the event queue before new events get dropped. Higher values can impact memory usage of the SDK. value must be > 0 and <= 50000.	10000
FlushEventQueueSize	int	Maximum size of the queue used to prepare events for submission to DevCycle. Higher values can impact memory usage of the SDK. value must be > 0 and <= 50000.	1000
ConfigCDNURI	string	The base URI for retrieving your project configuration from DevCycle. Can be set if you need to proxy traffic through your own server	https://config-cdn.devcycle.com
EventsAPIURI	string	The base URI for sending events to DevCycle for analytics tracking. Can be set if you need to proxy traffic through your own server	https://events.devcycle.com
Logger	util.Logger	Allows you to set a custom logger to manage output from the SDK. The default logger will write to stdout and stderr	nil

OpenFeature Support

This SDK provides an implementation of the OpenFeature Provider interface. Use the OpenFeatureProvider() method on the DevCycle SDK client to obtain a provider for OpenFeature.

devcycleClient, err := devcycle.NewClient("DEVCYCLE_SERVER_SDK_KEY", &options)
err = openfeature.SetProvider(devcycleClient.OpenFeatureProvider())

• The OpenFeature documentation

Linting

We run golangci/golangci-lint on every PR to catch common errors. You can run the linter locally via the Makefile with:

make lint

Lint failures on PRs will show comments on the "Files changed" tab inline with the code, not on the main Conversation tab.
