Bunny RPC Prototype

A thin RPC client/server based on Bunny (RabbitMQ) and toolkit for quickly building micro services. At the moment this prototype implementation focuses on solving for synchronous execution.

RPC Design Goals

1. Set up a new services with as little conceptual overhead as possible
2. Fault tolerant synchronous execution: - Client should gracefully handle unavailable services - Client should gracefully handle service timeouts - Server should gracefully handle undeliverable responses (and should allow for work to be rolled back in that event)
3. Baked in instrumentation [todo]
4. Baked in service discovery

Service Design Goals

1. Allow for rapid service development
2. Automatic serialization / deserialization of objects passed in and returned. (Simply expose JSON via OpenStruct)
3. Consistent exception passing

Future Features

• Extend for backgrounding work across services
• Consider extending to support an event-based model
