Cadence Proxy

A small executable that accepts incoming Thrift/HTTP requests and proxies them to Cadence server using Thrift/TChannel.

Why?

As of now Cadence only exposes Thrift via TChannel connection for its clients. And while Thrift implementation is available for most languages, TChannel is not (supports only Go, Node, Python and Java).

This makes it impossible for other language to connect to Cadence without implementing the whole TChannel protocol from scratch.

This project solves the problem by exposing the Cadence interface via HTTP and proxies all the calls to Cadence via TChannel.

Compile

Build using:

> make

In order to update Thrift generated files:

> make thrift

Run

Then execute with:

> bin/proxy

You can also specify the bind address and cadence address using env variables:

> BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:1234 CADENCE_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:2345 bin/proxy

these default to

BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:6666
CADENCE_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:7933
