Legion::Transport

Legion::Transport is the Ruby gem responsible for connecting LegionIO to its FIFO queue system (RabbitMQ over AMQP 0.9.1). It provides thread-safe connection management, exchange/queue abstractions, message publishing with optional encryption, and consumer wrappers.

Version: 1.2.5

Features

• Thread-safe connection management using concurrent-ruby
• AMQP 0.9.1 client via bunny
• Topic-based exchange routing with priority queue support
• Optional message encryption via legion-crypt
• Dynamic credential retrieval from HashiCorp Vault
• Auto-recovery on connection loss
• Dead letter exchange support
• Spool buffer for disk-backed message persistence when RabbitMQ is unavailable

Supported Ruby Versions

• Ruby >= 3.4

Installation

gem install legion-transport

Or add to your Gemfile:

gem 'legion-transport'

Usage

Basic Connection

require 'legion/transport'

Legion::Transport::Connection.setup
Legion::Transport::Connection.channel  # => Bunny::Channel
Legion::Transport::Connection.session  # => Bunny::Session

Publishing a Message

Legion::Transport::Messages::Task.new(
  function: 'my_function',
  queue: 'my_extension',
  routing_key: 'my_extension.my_function',
  task_id: SecureRandom.uuid
).publish

Creating a Queue

queue = Legion::Transport::Queues::Node.new
queue.subscribe do |delivery_info, properties, payload|
  # process message
  queue.acknowledge(delivery_info.delivery_tag)
end

Creating an Exchange

exchange = Legion::Transport::Exchanges::Task.new
exchange.publish(payload, routing_key: 'task.my_runner.my_function')

Connection Configuration

{
  "transport": {
    "connection": {
      "host": "rabbitmq1.example.com",
      "servers": ["rabbitmq2.example.com", "rabbitmq3.example.com:5673"],
      "port": 5672,
      "user": "legion",
      "password": "secret",
      "vhost": "/"
    }
  }
}

Supported server keys: host: (string), hosts: (array), server: (string), servers: (array). All are merged and deduped. Port 5672 is injected where omitted. Multiple hosts enable Bunny's cluster failover.

Configuration

Configuration is managed through legion-settings with environment variable overrides:

Setting	Env Var	Default
Host	transport.connection.host	127.0.0.1
Port	transport.connection.port	5672
User	transport.connection.user	guest
Password	transport.connection.password	guest
VHost	transport.connection.vhost	/
Prefetch	transport.prefetch	2
Encrypt	transport.messages.encrypt	false
TTL	transport.messages.ttl	nil
Persistent	transport.messages.persistent	true

Vault Integration

When connected to HashiCorp Vault, credentials are automatically fetched from rabbitmq/creds/legion:

# Vault must be connected via legion-crypt
# Credentials are fetched automatically during connection setup

TLS Support

TLS can be configured through transport settings:

# Settings under [:transport][:tls]
{
  use_tls: true,
  tls_cert: '/path/to/cert.pem',
  tls_key: '/path/to/key.pem',
  ca_certs: '/path/to/ca.pem',
  verify_peer: true,
  use_vault_pki: false
}
