Struct PluginResources 

pub struct PluginResources {
    pub metrics: Option<Arc<GatewayMetrics>>,
    pub outbound: Arc<OutboundClient>,
    pub consumers: ArcSwap<ConsumerStore>,
    pub counters: CounterStoreRegistry,
    pub traffic: TrafficRegistries,
}

Handle to process-wide services, injected into plugins at construction.

Grows as shared infrastructure lands (counter backends); every field must be cheap to clone or shared behind its own Arc.

Fields

metrics: Option<Arc<GatewayMetrics>>

Shared Prometheus registry; None disables recording (unit tests).

outbound: Arc<OutboundClient>

Pooled outbound HTTP client for upstream proxying and plugin callouts.

consumers: ArcSwap<ConsumerStore>

Consumer store, swapped atomically on config reload so lookups on the request path are lock-free. Plugins should load() per request, not cache the inner Arc across requests.

counters: CounterStoreRegistry

Rate-limit counter backends, resolved by policy name at config load.

traffic: TrafficRegistries

Shared state for traffic-control node pairs (concurrency, breakers, cache).

Implementations

impl PluginResources

pub fn new(metrics: Option<Arc<GatewayMetrics>>) -> Arc<Self>

Creates the process-wide resources handle with an empty consumer store; callers swap in the real store via PluginResources::consumers.
