Grafana Dskit

This library contains utilities that are useful for building distributed services, including:

• Exponential backoff for retries.
• A common cache API, implemented for Memcached and Redis.
• Hedging, sending extra duplicate requests to improve the chance that one succeeds.
• A common key-value API, implemented for Consul, Etcd and Memberlist.
• RPC middlewares, for metrics, logging, etc.
• A services model, to manage start-up and shut-down.

Current state

This library is used at scale in production at Grafana Labs. A number of packages were collected here from database-related projects:

• Mimir
• Loki
• Tempo
• Pyroscope

Go version compatibility
