The _AlloyDB Python Connector_ is an [AlloyDB](https://cloud.google.com/alloydb)
Connector library designed for use with the Python language.

Using an AlloyDB Connector provides the following benefits:

* **IAM Authorization:** uses IAM permissions to control who/what can connect to
  your AlloyDB instances

* **Improved Security:** uses robust, updated TLS 1.3 encryption and
  identity verification between the client connector and the server-side proxy,
  independent of the database protocol.

* **Convenience:** removes the requirement to use and distribute SSL
  certificates, as well as manage firewalls or source/destination IP addresses.

* (optionally) **IAM DB Authentication:** provides support for
  [AlloyDB’s automatic IAM DB AuthN][iam-db-authn] feature.

[iam-db-authn]: https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/manage-iam-authn

The AlloyDB Python Connector is a package to be used alongside a database driver.
Currently supported drivers are:

* [`pg8000`](https://codeberg.org/tlocke/pg8000)
* [`asyncpg`](https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg)

## Installation

You can install this library with `pip install`:

### pg8000

```sh
pip install "google-cloud-alloydb-connector[pg8000]"
```

See [Synchronous Driver Usage](#synchronous-driver-usage) for details.

### asyncpg

```sh
pip install "google-cloud-alloydb-connector[asyncpg]"
```

See [Async Driver Usage](#async-driver-usage) for details.

### APIs and Services

This package requires the following to connect successfully:

* IAM principal (user, service account, etc.) with the [AlloyDB
  Client][client-role] role or equivalent. [Credentials](#credentials)
  for the IAM principal are used to authorize connections to an AlloyDB instance.

* The [AlloyDB API][alloydb-api] to be enabled within your Google Cloud
  Project. By default, the API will be called in the project associated with the
  IAM principal.

[alloydb-api]: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/alloydb.googleapis.com
[client-role]: https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/auth-proxy/overview#how-authorized

### Credentials

This library uses the [Application Default Credentials (ADC)][adc] strategy for
resolving credentials. Please see [these instructions for how to set your ADC][set-adc]
(Google Cloud Application vs Local Development, IAM user vs service account credentials),
or consult the [google.auth][google-auth] package.

[adc]: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication#adc
[set-adc]: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/provide-credentials-adc
[google-auth]: https://google-auth.readthedocs.io/en/master/reference/google.auth.html

## Usage

This package provides several functions for authorizing and encrypting
connections. These functions are used with your database driver to connect to
your AlloyDB instance.

AlloyDB supports network connectivity through public IP addresses and private,
internal IP addresses, as well as [Private Service Connect][psc] (PSC). 
By default this package will attempt to connect over a
private IP connection. When doing so, this package must be run in an
environment that is connected to the [VPC Network][vpc] that hosts your
AlloyDB private IP address.

Please see [Configuring AlloyDB Connectivity][alloydb-connectivity] for more details.

There are two ways to import this AlloyDB connector package:
1. `import google.cloud.alloydbconnector`
2. `import google.cloud.alloydb.connector`

The preferred way is `import google.cloud.alloydbconnector` to avoid namespace
collisions with the [google-cloud-alloydb][alloydb-py-lib] package. Meanwhile,
`import google.cloud.alloydb.connector` will continue to work forever.

[vpc]: https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/vpc

[alloydb-py-lib]: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/tree/main/packages/google-cloud-alloydb

### Synchronous Driver Usage

To connect to AlloyDB using the connector, inititalize a `Connector`
object and call it's `connect` method with the proper input parameters.

The `Connector` itself creates database connection objects by calling its `connect` method
but does not manage database connection pooling. For this reason, it is recommended to use
the connector alongside a library that can create connection pools, such as
[SQLAlchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/). This will allow for connections to remain open and
 be reused, reducing connection overhead and the number of connections needed.

In the Connector's `connect` method below, input your AlloyDB instance URI as
the first positional argument and the name of the database driver for the
second positional argument. Insert the rest of your connection keyword arguments
like `user`, `password` and `db` etc.

To use this connector with SQLAlchemy, use the `creator` argument for `sqlalchemy.create_engine`:

```python
from google.cloud.alloydbconnector import Connector
import sqlalchemy

# initialize Connector object
connector = Connector()

# initialize SQLAlchemy connection pool with Connector
pool = sqlalchemy.create_engine(
    "postgresql+pg8000://",
    creator=lambda: connector.connect(
        "projects/<YOUR_PROJECT>/locations/<YOUR_REGION>/clusters/<YOUR_CLUSTER>/instances/<YOUR_INSTANCE>",
        "pg8000",
        user="my-user",
        password="my-password",
        db="my-db-name"
        # NOTE: this assumes private IP by default.
        # Add the following keyword arg to use public IP:
        # ip_type="PUBLIC"
    ),
)
```

The returned connection pool engine can then be used to query and modify the database.

```python
# insert statement
insert_stmt = sqlalchemy.text(
    "INSERT INTO my_table (id, title) VALUES (:id, :title)",
)

with pool.connect() as db_conn:
    # insert into database
    db_conn.execute(insert_stmt, parameters={"id": "book1", "title": "Book One"})

    # query database
    result = db_conn.execute(sqlalchemy.text("SELECT * from my_table")).fetchall()

    # commit transaction (SQLAlchemy v2.X.X is commit as you go)
    db_conn.commit()

    # Do something with the results
    for row in result:
        print(row)
```

To close the `Connector` object's background resources, call it's `close()` method as follows:

```python
connector.close()
```

### Synchronous Context Manager

The `Connector` object can also be used as a context manager in order to
automatically close and cleanup resources, removing the need for explicit
calls to `connector.close()`.

Connector as a context manager:

```python
from google.cloud.alloydbconnector import Connector
import sqlalchemy

# initialize Connector as context manager
with Connector() as connector:
    # initialize SQLAlchemy connection pool with Connector
    pool = sqlalchemy.create_engine(
        "postgresql+pg8000://",
        creator=lambda: connector.connect(
            "projects/<YOUR_PROJECT>/locations/<YOUR_REGION>/clusters/<YOUR_CLUSTER>/instances/<YOUR_INSTANCE>",
            "pg8000",
            user="my-user",
            password="my-password",
            db="my-db-name"
        ),
    )
    # insert statement
    insert_stmt = sqlalchemy.text(
        "INSERT INTO my_table (id, title) VALUES (:id, :title)",
    )
    
    # interact with AlloyDB database using connection pool
    with pool.connect() as db_conn:
        # insert into database
        db_conn.execute(insert_stmt, parameters={"id": "book1", "title": "Book One"})
    
        # commit transaction (SQLAlchemy v2.X.X is commit as you go)
        db_conn.commit()
    
        # query database
        result = db_conn.execute(sqlalchemy.text("SELECT * from my_table")).fetchall()
    
        # Do something with the results
        for row in result:
            print(row)
```

### Async Driver Usage

The AlloyDB Connector is compatible with [asyncio][] to improve the speed and
efficiency of database connections through concurrency. The `AsyncConnector`
currently supports the following asyncio database drivers:

- [asyncpg](https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg)

[asyncio]: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html

#### Asyncpg Connection Pool

```python
import asyncpg
from google.cloud.alloydbconnector import AsyncConnector

async def main():
    # initialize AsyncConnector object for connections to AlloyDB
    connector = AsyncConnector()

    # initialize asyncpg connection pool with AsyncConnector
    pool = await asyncpg.create_pool(
        "projects/<YOUR_PROJECT>/locations/<YOUR_REGION>/clusters/<YOUR_CLUSTER>/instances/<YOUR_INSTANCE>",
        connect=lambda instance_connection_name, **kwargs: connector.connect(
            instance_connection_name,
            "asyncpg",
            user="my-user",
            password="my-password",
            db="my-db",
        ),
    )

    # acquire connection and query AlloyDB database
    async with pool.acquire() as conn:
        res = await conn.fetch("SELECT NOW()")

    # close AsyncConnector
    await connector.close()
```

#### SQLAlchemy Async Engine

```python
import asyncpg

import sqlalchemy
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncEngine, create_async_engine

from google.cloud.alloydbconnector import AsyncConnector

async def init_connection_pool(connector: AsyncConnector) -> AsyncEngine:
    # The AlloyDB Python Connector can be used along with SQLAlchemy using the
    # 'async_creator' argument to 'create_async_engine'
    pool = create_async_engine(
        "postgresql+asyncpg://",
        async_creator=lambda: connector.connect(
            "projects/<YOUR_PROJECT>/locations/<YOUR_REGION>/clusters/<YOUR_CLUSTER>/instances/<YOUR_INSTANCE>",
            "asyncpg",
            user="my-user",
            password="my-password",
            db="my-db-name"
            # NOTE: this assumes private IP by default.
            # Add the following keyword arg to use public IP:
            # ip_type="PUBLIC"
            # ... additional database driver args
        ),
    )
    return pool

async def main():
    connector = AsyncConnector()

    # initialize connection pool
    pool = await init_connection_pool(connector)

    # example query
    async with pool.connect() as conn:
        await conn.execute(sqlalchemy.text("SELECT NOW()"))

    # dispose of connection pool
    await pool.dispose()

    # close Connector
    await connector.close()

```

For more details on additional arguments with an `asyncpg.Connection`, please
visit the [official documentation][asyncpg-docs].

[asyncpg-docs]: https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg/current/api/index.html

### Async Context Manager

The `AsyncConnector` also may be used as an async context manager, removing the
need for explicit calls to `connector.close()` to cleanup resources.

#### Asyncpg Connection Pool

```python
import asyncpg
from google.cloud.alloydbconnector import AsyncConnector

async def main():
    # initialize AsyncConnector object for connections to AlloyDB
    async with AsyncConnector() as connector:

        # create connection pool
        pool = await asyncpg.create_pool(
            "projects/<YOUR_PROJECT>/locations/<YOUR_REGION>/clusters/<YOUR_CLUSTER>/instances/<YOUR_INSTANCE>",
            connect=lambda instance_connection_name, **kwargs: connector.connect(
                instance_connection_name,
                "asyncpg",
                user="my-user",
                password="my-password",
                db="my-db",
            ),
        )

        # acquire connection and query AlloyDB database
        async with pool.acquire() as conn:
            res = await conn.fetch("SELECT NOW()")
```

#### SQLAlchemy Async Engine

```python
import asyncio
import asyncpg

import sqlalchemy
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncEngine, create_async_engine

from google.cloud.alloydbconnector import AsyncConnector

async def init_connection_pool(connector: AsyncConnector) -> AsyncEngine:
    # The AlloyDB Python Connector can be used along with SQLAlchemy using the
    # 'async_creator' argument to 'create_async_engine'
    pool = create_async_engine(
        "postgresql+asyncpg://",
        async_creator=lambda: connector.connect(
            "projects/<YOUR_PROJECT>/locations/<YOUR_REGION>/clusters/<YOUR_CLUSTER>/instances/<YOUR_INSTANCE>",
            "asyncpg",
            user="my-user",
            password="my-password",
            db="my-db-name"
            # ... additional database driver args
        ),
    )
    return pool

async def main():
    # initialize Connector object for connections to AlloyDB
    async with AsyncConnector() as connector:
        # initialize connection pool
        pool = await init_connection_pool(connector)

        # example query
        async with pool.connect() as conn:
            await conn.execute(sqlalchemy.text("SELECT NOW()"))

        # dispose of connection pool
        await pool.dispose()
```

### Automatic IAM Database Authentication

The Python Connector supports [Automatic IAM database authentication][].

Make sure to [configure your AlloyDB Instance to allow IAM authentication][configure-iam-authn]
and [add an IAM database user][add-iam-user].

A `Connector` or `AsyncConnector` can be configured to connect to an AlloyDB instance using
automatic IAM database authentication with the `enable_iam_auth` argument set to `True`.

When configuring the `connector.connect` call for IAM authentication, the `password` field can be
omitted and the `user` field should be formatted as follows:

* For an IAM user account, this is the user's email address.
* For a service account, it is the service account's email without the
`.gserviceaccount.com` domain suffix.

For example, to connect with IAM authentication using the
`test-sa@test-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com` service account:

```python
connector.connect(
    "projects/<YOUR_PROJECT>/locations/<YOUR_REGION>/clusters/<YOUR_CLUSTER>/instances/<YOUR_INSTANCE>",
    "pg8000",  # asyncpg for AsyncConnector
    user="test-sa@test-project.iam",
    db="my-db-name",
    enable_iam_auth=True,
)
```

[Automatic IAM database authentication]: https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/manage-iam-authn
[configure-iam-authn]: https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/manage-iam-authn#enable
[add-iam-user]: https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/manage-iam-authn#create-user

### Configuring a Lazy Refresh (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions etc.)

The Connector's `refresh_strategy` argument can be set to `"lazy"` to configure
the Python Connector to retrieve connection info lazily and as-needed.
Otherwise, a background refresh cycle runs to retrive the connection info
periodically. This setting is useful in environments where the CPU may be
throttled outside of a request context, e.g., Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, etc.

To set the refresh strategy, set the `refresh_strategy` keyword argument when
initializing a `Connector`:

```python
connector = Connector(refresh_strategy="lazy")
```

### Specifying IP Address Type

The AlloyDB Python Connector by default will attempt to establish connections
to your instance's private IP. To change this, such as connecting to AlloyDB
over a public IP address or Private Service Connect (PSC), set the `ip_type`
keyword argument when initializing a `Connector()` or when calling
`connector.connect()`.

Possible values for `ip_type` are `"PRIVATE"` (default value), `"PUBLIC"`,
and `"PSC"`.

Example:

```python
from google.cloud.alloydbconnector import Connector

import sqlalchemy

# initialize Connector object
connector = Connector()

# create connection pool
pool = sqlalchemy.create_engine(
    "postgresql+pg8000://",
    creator=lambda: connector.connect(
        "projects/<YOUR_PROJECT>/locations/<YOUR_REGION>/clusters/<YOUR_CLUSTER>/instances/<YOUR_INSTANCE>",
        "pg8000",
        user="my-user",
        password="my-password",
        db="my-db-name",
        ip_type="PUBLIC",  # use public IP
    ),
)

# use connection pool...
connector.close()
```

### Debug Logging

The AlloyDB Python Connector uses the standard [Python logging module][python-logging]
for debug logging support.

Add the below code to your application to enable debug logging with the AlloyDB
Python Connector:

```python
import logging

logging.basicConfig(format="%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s]: %(message)s")
logger = logging.getLogger(name="google.cloud.alloydbconnector")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
```

For more details on configuring logging, please refer to the
[Python logging docs][configure-logging].
