async caveat
resiliency
A resilient system is one that functions with one or
more components being unavailable or unacceptably slow. -
don’t let a take you down minor dependencies
shopify/toxiproxy ☢ redis memcached sessions your app toxiproxy
def load_customer if customer_id = session[:customer_id] @customer = Customer.find_by_id(customer_id) end
end
def load_customer if customer_id = session[:customer_id] @customer = Customer.find_by_id(customer_id) end
rescue Sessions::DataStoreUnavailable @customer = nil end
def test_storefront_resilient_to_sessions_down Toxiproxy[:sessions_data_store].down do get '/' assert_response :success end end
rinse & repeat http://www.shopify.com/technology/16906928-building-and-testing-resilient-ruby-on-rails-applications
what about resources? slow
shard 2 shard 3 shard 1 shop 4, 5, 6
shop 7, 8, 9 shop 1, 2, 3
rails request shard 2 shard 3 shard 1 shop 4,
5, 6 shop 7, 8, 9 shop 1, 2, 3
rails request shard 2 shard 3 shard 1 shop 4,
5, 6 shop 7, 8, 9 shop 1, 2, 3
how can we fail fast?
shopify/semian smart circuit-breaker
shopify/semian Semian.register(:mysql_shard_1, tickets: 5, timeout: 0.5, error_threshold: 100, error_timeout: 10,
success_threshold: 2)
shopify/semian Semian[:mysql_shard_1].acquire do # Query the resource end
rails request shard 2 shard 3 shard 1 shop 4,
5, 6 shop 7, 8, 9 shop 1, 2, 3
what else can go wrong?
Shopify Shipping rate providers Payment gateways Fulfillment services (FedEX, UPS,
USPS, etc..) (Stripe, PayPal, etc..) (Shipwire, etc…) Internal services (MySQL, Memcached, etc..)
manual circuit breakers around external dependencies
thanks! :)
