Dan Upton	d4c435856b	grpc: `protoc` plugin for generating gRPC rate limit specifications (#15564) ... Adds automation for generating the map of `gRPC Method Name → Rate Limit Type` used by the middleware introduced in #15550, and will ensure we don't forget to add new endpoints. Engineers must annotate their RPCs in the proto file like so: ``` rpc Foo(FooRequest) returns (FooResponse) { option (consul.internal.ratelimit.spec) = { operation_type: READ, }; } ``` When they run `make proto` a protoc plugin `protoc-gen-consul-rate-limit` will be installed that writes rate-limit specs as a JSON array to a file called `.ratelimit.tmp` (one per protobuf package/directory). After running Buf, `make proto` will execute a post-process script that will ingest all of the `.ratelimit.tmp` files and generate a Go file containing the mappings in the `agent/grpc-middleware` package. In the enterprise repository, it will write an additional file with the enterprise-only endpoints. If an engineer forgets to add the annotation to a new RPC, the plugin will return an error like so: ``` RPC Foo is missing rate-limit specification, fix it with: import "proto-public/annotations/ratelimit/ratelimit.proto"; service Bar { rpc Foo(...) returns (...) { option (hashicorp.consul.internal.ratelimit.spec) = { operation_type: OPERATION_READ | OPERATION_WRITE | OPERATION_EXEMPT, }; } } ``` In the future, this annotation can be extended to support rate-limit category (e.g. KV vs Catalog) and to determine the retry policy.	2 years ago
