Typhon is a thin wrapper around net/http that we use at Monzo to build RPC servers and clients in our
microservices platform.
It provides a number of conveniences for doing things like injecting middleware "filters", encoding and decoding
responses, response streaming, propagating cancellation, passing errors. Its API is deliberately constrained but
intended to promote safety: for example, clients are freed from the worry of leaking resources if they fail call
body.Close(). By modelling servers, clients, and filters as straightforward functions, they are decoupled from the
underlying HTTP mechanisms, thus simplifying testing and promoting composition.
