Production Readiness Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Add TLS/mTLS, graceful shutdown, health checking, and timeout/deadline control to FastGRPC.

Architecture: Four independent features added to app.py, service.py, and context.py. Each feature is opt-in via new optional parameters with defaults that preserve existing behavior. No new files — changes are minimal additions to existing modules.

Tech Stack: Python 3.9+, grpcio, asyncio (no new dependencies except optional grpcio-health-checking)


Task 1: Timeout Control — BaseMethod and Decorator Plumbing

Files: - Modify: fast_grpc/service.py - Modify: fast_grpc/app.py - Test: tests/test_service.py

  • [ ] Step 1: Add timeout field to BaseMethod.__init__

In fast_grpc/service.py, modify BaseMethod.__init__ signature and body:

def __init__(
    self,
    endpoint: Callable,
    *,
    name: Optional[str] = None,
    request_model: Optional[Type[BaseModel]] = None,
    response_model: Optional[Type[BaseModel]] = None,
    description: str = "",
    timeout: Optional[float] = None,
):
    self.name = name or snake_to_camel(endpoint.__name__)
    self.endpoint = endpoint
    self.request_model = request_model
    self.response_model = response_model
    self.description = description
    self.timeout = timeout
    # ... rest of existing __init__ body unchanged
  • [ ] Step 2: Add timeout field to BaseService.__init__

In fast_grpc/service.py, modify BaseService.__init__:

def __init__(self, name: str, timeout: Optional[float] = None):
    self.name: str = name
    self.methods: Dict[str, MethodType] = {}
    self.grpc_servicer = None
    self.timeout: Optional[float] = timeout
  • [ ] Step 3: Update Service.__init__ and Pb2Service.__init__ to pass timeout

In fast_grpc/service.py, modify Service.__init__:

def __init__(self, name: str, proto: str = "", timeout: Optional[float] = None):
    super().__init__(name, timeout=timeout)
    # ... rest unchanged

Modify Pb2Service.__init__:

def __init__(self, name: str, pb2_module, pb2_grpc_module, timeout: Optional[float] = None):
    super().__init__(name, timeout=timeout)
    # ... rest unchanged
  • [ ] Step 4: Add timeout param to FastGRPC.__init__

In fast_grpc/app.py, modify FastGRPC.__init__ signature, add timeout parameter and store it:

def __init__(
    self,
    *,
    name: str = "FastGRPC",
    proto: str = "fast_grpc.proto",
    auto_gen_proto: bool = True,
    type_mapping: Optional[dict[type, ProtoTag]] = None,
    compile_proto: bool = True,
    generate_mypy: bool = False,
    timeout: Optional[float] = None,
):
    # ... existing params ...
    self._timeout = timeout

Note: self._timeout is already pre-stored before calling self.service = Service(...); after creating self.service, propagate self.service.timeout = timeout.

  • [ ] Step 5: Add timeout param to all four app.py decorators

In fast_grpc/app.py, add timeout: Optional[float] = None to unary_unary, unary_stream, stream_unary, stream_stream. Each passes timeout=timeout through to self.service.add_method():

def unary_unary(
    self,
    name: Optional[str] = None,
    *,
    request_model: Optional[Type[BaseModel]] = None,
    response_model: Optional[Type[BaseModel]] = None,
    description: str = "",
    timeout: Optional[float] = None,
):
    def decorator(endpoint: Callable) -> Callable:
        self.service.add_method(
            name=name,
            endpoint=endpoint,
            method_class=UnaryUnaryMethod,
            request_model=request_model,
            response_model=response_model,
            description=description,
            timeout=timeout,
        )
        return endpoint
    return decorator

Same pattern for the other three decorators.

  • [ ] Step 6: Write tests for timeout plumbing

In tests/test_service.py, add:

    """BaseMethod stores the timeout parameter."""
    from fast_grpc.service import UnaryUnaryMethod

    method = UnaryUnaryMethod(
        endpoint=endpoint,
        request_model=RequestModel,
        response_model=ResponseModel,
        timeout=5.0,
    )
    assert method.timeout == 5.0
