Suture

======

Suture provides Erlang-ish supervisor trees for Go. "Supervisor trees" ->
|
||
|
|
"sutree" -> "suture" -> holds your code together when it's trying to die.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is intended to be a production-quality library going into code that I
|
||
|
|
will be very early on the phone tree to support when it goes down. However,
|
||
|
|
it has not been deployed into something quite that serious yet. (I will
|
||
|
|
update this statement when that changes.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is intended to deal gracefully with the real failure cases that can
|
||
|
|
occur with supervision trees (such as burning all your CPU time endlessly
|
||
|
|
restarting dead services), while also making no unnecessary demands on the
|
||
|
|
"service" code, and providing hooks to perform adequate logging with in a
|
||
|
|
production environment.

[A blog post describing the design decisions](http://www.jerf.org/iri/post/2930)

is available.

|
This module is fully covered with [godoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/thejerf/suture),
|
||
|
|
including an example, usage, and everything else you might expect from a
|
||
|
|
README.md on GitHub. (DRY.)

This is not currently tagged with particular git tags for Go as this is
|
||
|
|
currently considered to be alpha code. As I move this into production and
|
||
|
|
feel more confident about it, I'll give it relevant tags.

Code Signing
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Starting with the commit after ac7cf8591b, I will be signing this repository
|
||
|
|
with the ["jerf" keybase account](https://keybase.io/jerf).

Aspiration
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the big wins the Erlang community has with their pervasive OTP
|
||
|
|
support is that it makes it easy for them to distribute libraries that
|
||
|
|
easily fit into the OTP paradigm. It ought to someday be considered a good
|
||
|
|
idea to distribute libraries that provide some sort of supervisor tree
|
||
|
|
functionality out of the box. It is possible to provide this functionality
|
||
|
|
without explicitly depending on the Suture library.
