go-grpc-client

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of robust gRPC client factories for Go microservices, simplifying inter-service communication and ensuring consistent connection management.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Typed Client Generation: Creates type-safe client wrappers for specific gRPC services.
• Connection Pooling & Management: Implements efficient connection reuse and lifecycle management.
• Interceptor Support: Integrates essential client-side interceptors for logging, tracing, and authentication.
• Health Checking: Optionally includes a health check poller for service availability monitoring.
• Use Case: When developing a new microservice that needs to call an existing user service, this skill can generate the client code, including all necessary configurations for secure and reliable communication.

Quick Start

Generate a gRPC client for the 'UserService' with proto package 'userpb' and use the 'AUTH_TOKEN' environment variable for authentication.
