Advanced Feature


Generic Call

Generic call is typically used for mid-platform services that do not need generated code, and only Thrift generic call is supported currently.

Metainfo

In addition to IDL-defined data structures, Kitex supports additional meta-info transmitting capabilities and interoperability with different frameworks.

Server SDK Mode

SDK Mode(invoker)provides a way to call Kitex server just like a SDK.

Customize Error Handler

RPC is based on the protocol and there is no unified error code specification, so Kitex provides ErrorHandler to customize error handling.

Customize Hook for Start/Shutdown of Server-side

Kitex supports customizing business logic before and after server startup and exit respectively.

gRPC Proxy

Kitex supports custom Proxy routing for unregistered gRPC method calls.

Frugal

By integrating Frugal, Kitex’s performance can reach about 5 times that of traditional codec methods, and there is no need to generate codec codes in advance.

xDS Support

Kitex supports the xDS protocol and runs in Proxyless mode, managed by the service mesh in unify.

Request Profiler

Kitex Profiler provides request-level runtime cost statistic capability.
