Dropwizard based micro-service development framework

GoJek Commons

GoJek Commons is a collection of useful abstractions aimed at making micro-service development faster and easier to manage.

Introduction

From our experience, we have seen that most micro-service development has similar system requirements and they all end up with,

• a data store
• a centralized cache store
• a queuing system
• event processing
• scheduled job processing
• application/business metrics for monitoring & alerting
• input validations and error handling
• health checks

We end up writing boiler plate code in every service making the development slower and bulkier codebase. GoJek Commons was created to abstract out most of these dependencies and keep the service smaller and simpler.

Components

GoJek Commons is built on top of Dropwizard Framework for its out-of-the-box support for service hygiene (configuration, metrics, logging etc..). The following are the components used,

• RESTful API - Jaxrs ([Jersey])
• Data Access - ActiveJPA (Relational Databases)
• Dependency Injection - Guice
• Message Broker - AMQP (Rabbitmq)
• Caching - Redis (Jedis)
• Metrics - Dropwizard Metrics
• Jobs - Quartz
• API Documentation - Swagger
