Introduction

Dubbo-Go-Pixiu(official site: https://dubbo.apache.org/zh/docs3-v2/dubbo-go-pixiu/) is a high-performance API gateway and multi-language solution Sidecar in the Dubbo ecosystem

It is an open source Dubbo ecosystem API gateway, and also a sidecar to let other compute language program access the dubbo clusters by HTTP/gRPC protocol. As an API gateway, Pixiu can receive external network requests, convert them into dubbo and other protocol requests, and forward them to the back cluster; as a sidecar, Pixiu expects to register to the Dubbo cluster instead of the proxy service, allowing multilingual services to access the Dubbo cluster to provide faster solution

Quick Start

Requirment

1. go 1.17 or higher
2. docker or docker-desktop

you can find out all demo in https://github.com/apache/dubbo-go-pixiu-samples. download it and operate as below.

git clone https://github.com/apache/dubbo-go-pixiu-samples.git

update pixiu to latest version

go get github.com/apache/[email protected]

cd samples dir

cd dubbogo/simple

we can use start.sh to run samples quickly. for more info, execute command as below for more help

./start.sh [action] [project]
./start.sh help

we run [direct] samples step by step as follows.

prepare config file and docker

'prepare' command will prepare dubbo-server and pixiu config file firstly, and then start docker container.

./start.sh prepare direct

if prepare config file manually, notice:

• modify $PROJECT_DIR in conf.yaml to absolute path

start dubbo or http server

./start.sh startServer direct

start pixiu

./start.sh startPixiu direct

if run pixiu manually in pixiu project, use command as below.

 go run cmd/pixiu/*.go gateway start -c /[absolute-path]/dubbo-go-pixiu-samples/dubbogo/simple/direct/pixiu/conf.yaml

if run pixiu manually in pixiu project and wasm feature, use command as below.

build pixiu project use command operate

go build -tags wasm -o pixiu cmd/pixiu/*.go

run pixiu app binary

go build cmd/pixiu/*.go
./pixiu gateway start -c /[absolute-path]/dubbo-go-pixiu-samples/dubbogo/simple/direct/pixiu/conf.yaml
