Publish & Subscribe Messaging Pattern
|
||||
============
|
||||
Publish-Subscribe is a messaging pattern used to communicate messages between
|
||||
different components without these components knowing anything about each other's identity.
|
||||
|
||||
It is similar to the Observer behavioral design pattern.
|
||||
The fundamental design principals of both Observer and Publish-Subscribe is the decoupling of
|
||||
those interested in being informed about `Event Messages` from the informer (Observers or Publishers).
|
||||
Meaning that you don't have to program the messages to be sent directly to specific receivers.
|
||||
|
||||
To accomplish this, an intermediary, called a "message broker" or "event bus",
|
||||
receives published messages, and then routes them on to subscribers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There are three components **messages**, **topics**, **users**.
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type Message struct {
|
||||
// Contents
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
type Subscription struct {
|
||||
ch chan<- Message
|
||||
|
||||
Inbox chan Message
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (s *Subscription) Publish(msg Message) error {
|
||||
if _, ok := ch; !ok {
|
||||
return errors.New("Topic has been closed")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
ch <- msg
|
||||
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type Topic struct {
|
||||
Subscribers []Session
|
||||
MessageHistory []Message
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (t *Topic) Subscribe(uid uint64) (Subscription, error) {
|
||||
// Get session and create one if it's the first
|
||||
|
||||
// Add session to the Topic & MessageHistory
|
||||
|
||||
// Create a subscription
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (t *Topic) Unsubscribe(Subscription) error {
|
||||
// Implementation
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (t *Topic) Delete() error {
|
||||
// Implementation
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type User struct {
|
||||
ID uint64
|
||||
Name string
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
type Session struct {
|
||||
User User
|
||||
Timestamp time.Time
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Improvements
|
||||
============
|
||||
Events can be published in a parallel fashion by utilizing stackless goroutines.
|
||||
|
||||
Performance can be improved by dealing with straggler subscribers
|
||||
by using a buffered inbox and you stop sending events once the inbox is full.
