at Pepabo R&D Institute • Ph.D of Informatics, Kyoto University • my interests: Operation technology, Internet foundation technology, System programming, Highly integrated multi- tenant architecture, Hosting service, Cloud platform, C, mruby, Rust • Engineering => Technology <= Research 2 Ryosuke Matsumoto @matsumotory
service, Cloud platform service • operation technology for middleware written by C • Apache, nginx, dovecot, postfix, sendmail, bind, proftp… • want to write operation tools for middleware using perl • want to write extension module for middleware • each middleware dependency • Apache module, nginx module, dovecot plugin…. 7 I’m a former web operation engineer
server extension) • pmilter (milter server) • Trusterd HTTP/2 Web Server • h2o_mruby (Initial implementation with v1.4) • other system tools: rcon, capcon, pfds, virtualing, ab-mruby • developed the greatest number of mrbgem in mgem-list • also received Ph.D of informatics 12 my developed middleware with mruby
code • limit Ruby methods by mruby • dynamically control middleware by session parameters • cooperate with microservices • record a session data and utilize the data • implement Service Mesh functions • HTTP(S)ɾTCP/UDP stream 13 Why embed mruby into middleware
• usability, operation / development technology • strategy for multi process / multi threading • ʮmruby = mrb_stateʯ in this presentation 14 How embed mruby into middleware
• lock between threads in single mrb_state is complicated • A cost of creating mrb_state is much higher than creating thread • The cost becomes bottleneck each request to middleware • We want to create mrb_state on init phase of middleware • control only bytecode each request 19 considerations
• try and error over and over again for 6 years • consider several viewpoints • memory management • performance • usability, operation / development technology 20 In this presentation
script • can save memory • can share objects with each other script on init phase • Disadvantages • can’t pass objects to a request phase 28 init: share mrb_state
script • can share objects with each other script on init phase • can pass objects to a request phase • use DB object which connect the DB at init phase • Disadvantages • use more memory than other init pattern • complicated memory management each request 31 init: share mrb_state with request phase
can manage memory easily and correctly • change script each request • Disadvantages • low performance because of creating mrb_state each request • can’t share objects with each other script each request 35 request: independent mrb_state
each request and init phase • change script each request • Disadvantages • slightly low performance because of compiling • memory management is very complicated because of compiling and freeing bytecode each request while sharing mrb_state 37 request: independent mrb_state
each other script each request and init phase • Disadvantages • can’t change script each request • memory management is a bit complicated 39 request: independent mrb_state
in single process/thread (C10k) • want to use multi cpu core sufficiently • process blocking operation in non-blocking mode • File I/O, Network I/O, sleep… • monitor I/O state and notify status change like epoll() • generally implement suitable event loop for middleware 48 non-blocking middleware
when accepting multiple requests simultaneously • Other responses are delayed in proportion to the time of processing of mruby blocking 49 non-blocking middleware with mruby

suspend mruby processing until the blocking method is completed • return to event loop of middleware from mruby • resume mruby processing by callback func in event loop 55 non-blocking middleware with mruby
services dynamically and programmably • design pattern for embedding mruby into middleware • init /exit • each request • blocking / non-blocking • We will release ngx_mruby v2 in the near future • Happy hacking mruby! 71 Conclusion
