Check If Email Exists GRPC

This crate is a wrapper around the HTTP version of check-if-email-exists. It exposes a Grpc API instead of Rest.

If you are looking for a SaaS solution for your email validation, then please check Reacher by the original creator of check-if-email-exists.

Why would you use this version?

• To enjoy the benefits of Grpc performance vs Http in a microservice architecture
• To increase performance even more by using a Redis cache. This would be useful if the same email is validated more than once in a short period of time
• You need observability and audit trails for email validation in your pipelines. This crate uses tracing for that

How to run

Docker container

There is a docker image here. It supports the same environment variables than the executable.

If you're using Docker as container runtime, then you may want to use the --init option in order to pass signals to the process.

Kubernetes

See the helm chart in this repo

Executable

For this, you'd need to build the application using cargo build

How to connect clients

Using an auto-generated grpc client (no Rust needed!)

The proto files are published in the Buf Schema Registry. You can then use Buf to generate the code in the language of your choice. Just follow the docs

In Rust

This crate exports a grpc client in the module proto::v0::service_client

How to configure

There are several environment variables:
