Smart Client
• Service discovery • service://identity/... • Retry failed GETs •
Run HTTP requests asynchronously • Log with Runscope Traffic Inspector Smart Client
url = "https://ec2-23-212-199-23.us-west-2.amazonaws.com" resp = requests.get(url) if resp.ok: return resp.json()
else: # retry? return None def get_user(id): def main(): user = get_user(id) print user["name"]
class Identity def get_user(id): url = "service://identity/users/" + id resp
= smart_client.get(url) if resp.ok: return User(resp.json()) return AnonymousUser() from Identity import get_user def main(): user = get_user(id) print user.name Auto-locate service Smart retries
Smart Service
• Built-in healthcheck/heartbeat endpoints • Automatic, realm-aware service registry •
Common logging and metrics framework • Simplified dependency management Smart Service
