Future of Jira Software powered by Kotlin - Kotlin Night Ankara

Atlassian is on a decomposition journey. We split our monoliths in microservices and we build our microservices in Kotlin. Our services are reactive and resilient and working on them is kool.

This is a story of Jira Software’s transition to Kotlin. How we built a GraphQL gateway in Kotlin with Spring Boot and Project Reactor. Our success in interoperability with Java and how we solved issues when crossing the boundary between the reactive and non-reactive world. It also explains how Kotlin helped our developers become more productive and how resilience helps us build better services for consumers.

36. Jira Software Tech Stack DynamoDB or PostgreSQL Depends on the application. Project Reactor Mature reactive library. Kotlin For all new services. Spring Boot Custom wrapper that makes monitoring etc. easier.
37. Powered by Kotlin Making developers happy
38. WHY KOTLIN?
39. Experience Have we learned Kotlin enough? Was it a success? Compatibility How well is it going to play with our current tech stacks? Staffing Are we going to have enough Kotlin developers available? Adopting Kotlin
40. Velocity Does it make our developers more productive? Industry Is it already adopted by the developers community? Adopting Kotlin
41. ❤
42. Experienced with Kotlin. Android Developer Ad
43. Experience or interest in Kotlin development. Software Engineer, Developer Productivity, Jira Cloud Ad
44. We happen to have a variety of languages within our stack including Kotlin, Python, and Ruby. Senior Backend Developer Ad
45. A case for a reactive app A real world example of an app that we built recently
46. LATENCY 250ms 250ms 250ms 750ms
47. LATENCY 10ms 250ms 10ms 10ms 280ms
48. Operators Useful for modifying and combining sources. Allows composition of libraries that add resilience, tracing etc. Async Calls a service, then does mostly nothing and waits. Perfect fit. Project reactor Clean code No callback hell.
49. val currentBoard = “5”.toMono() MONO 5
50. val recentBoards = listOf("0", "1", "2").toFlux() FLUX 0 1 2
51. val currentBoard = "5".toMono() val recentBoards = listOf("0", "1", "2").toFlux() currentBoard.concatWith(recentBoards) COMPOSITION & CLEAN CODE 5 0 1 2 0 1 2 5
52. val currentBoard = "5".toMono() val recentBoards = listOf("0", "1", "2").toFlux() currentBoard.concatWith(recentBoards) .map { boardService.getName(it) } .take(3) .subscribe { println(it) } COMPOSITION & CLEAN CODE
53. Surfboard Skateboard Ironing board COMPOSITION & CLEAN CODE
54. currentBoard.concatWith(recentBoards) .map { boardService.getName(it) } .timeout(Duration.ofMillis(2500)) .onErrorReturn("Recent board”) .take(3) .subscribe { println(it) } COMPOSITION & CLEAN CODE
55. Surfboard Recent board Ironing board COMPOSITION & CLEAN CODE
56. val currentBoard = currentBoardServiceMono() val recentBoards = recentBoardsServiceFlux() return currentBoard.concatWith(recentBoards) .map { boardService.getName(it) } .timeout(Duration.ofMillis(2500)) .onErrorReturn("Recent board”) .take(3) REAL WORLD EXAMPLE
57. ThreadLocal<Integer> value = new ThreadLocal<>(); value.set(42); … Integer integer = value.get(); REACTOR GOTCHAS
58. currentUser.concatWith(recentUsers) .subscriberContext { sc -> sc.put("key", value) } .flatMap { userId -> Mono.subscriberContext().map { sc -> userService.getFullName(userId, sc.get("key")) } } .subscribe { println(it) } SUBSCRIBER CONTEXT
59. Get exactly what you want Query multiple sources at once, specify what you want. Strongly typed schema Schema is a living documentation. Mature web clients Clients like Apollo let us remove dependency on Redux in ReactJs web apps. GraphQL
60. type Query { board(id: ID): Board } type Board { id: ID name: String issues: [Issue] } type Issue { id: ID key: String } SCHEMA
61. POST /jsw/graphql query { board(id: 42) { name issues { key } } } QUERY
62. { "data": { "board": { "name": "Software board” "issues": [ { "key": "KEY-1" } ] } } } RESPONSE
63. Project Reactor + GraphQL Java OUR SOLUTION
64. DataFetching Environment Subscriber Context PROJECT REACTOR GRAPHQL-JAVA
65. Let’s write some code GraphQL gateway, Jira Software style
66. GET https://catfact.ninja/fact { "fact": "The leopard is the most widespread of all big cats.", "length": 51 } CAT FACTS API
67. GET https://some-random-api.ml/facts/dog { "fact": "A dogs' first sense to develop is touch." } DOG FACTS API
68. Cat Facts Dog Facts
69. WHY NOT BOTH?
70. POST https://animalfactsgateway.com/grapqhl query { dog { fact length } cat { fact length } } ANIMAL FACTS GRAPHQL API
71. { "data": { "dog": { "fact": "Dog fact", "length": 8 }, "cat": { "fact": "Cat fact", "length": 8 } } }
72. dependencies { implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot- starter-webflux") implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson- module-kotlin") implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect") implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8") implementation("com.graphql-java:graphql-java:11.0") }
73. package com.atlassian.jsw.factsdemo import o.s.b.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication import o.s.b.runApplication @SpringBootApplication class DemoApplication fun main(args: Array<String>) { runApplication<DemoApplication>(*args) } APPLICATION
74. type Query { cat: Fact dog: Fact } type Fact { fact: String length: Int } GRAPHQL SCHEMA
75. interface FactFetcher: DataFetcher<CompletionStage<Fact?>> FETCHERS public interface DataFetcher<T> { T get(DataFetchingEnvironment env) throws Exception; }
76. data class Fact(val fact: String, val length: Int) FACT CLASS
77. @Component class CatFactFetcher(val webClient: WebClient) : FactFetcher { override fun get(environment: DataFetchingEnvironment): CompletionStage<Fact?> = webClient.get().uri("https://catfact.ninja/fact") .retrieve() .bodyToMono(CatFact::class.java) .map { Fact(it.fact, it.length) } .toFuture() } data class CatFact(val fact: String, val length: Int) CAT FACTS FETCHER
78. @Component class DogFactFetcher(val webClient: WebClient) : FactFetcher { override fun get(environment: DataFetchingEnvironment): CompletionStage<Fact?> = webClient.get().uri("https://.../facts/dog") .retrieve() .bodyToMono(DogFact::class.java) .map { Fact(it.fact, it.fact.length) } .toFuture() } data class DogFact(val fact: String) DOG FACTS FETCHER
79. @Configuration class GraphqlConfig { @Bean fun schema(wiring: RuntimeWiring): GraphQLSchema = SchemaGenerator().makeExecutableSchema( parseSchema(“/graphql/schema.graphqls"), wiring ) } GRAPHQL CONFIGURATION
80. @Configuration class GraphqlConfig { @Bean fun factsWiring( dogFactFetcher: DogFactFetcher, catFactFetcher: CatFactFetcher ): RuntimeWiring = RuntimeWiring.newRuntimeWiring() .type( newTypeWiring("Query") .dataFetcher("dog", dogFactFetcher) .dataFetcher("cat", catFactFetcher) ) .build() }
81. override fun processQuery( query: String ): Mono<ExecutionResult> = Mono.fromFuture( GraphQL .newGraphQL(graphQLSchema) .build() .executeAsync( ExecutionInput.newExecutionInput() .query(query) .build() ) ) SERVICE METHOD
82. @PostMapping( path = ["/graphql"], consumes = [MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE], produces = [MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE] ) fun graphql( @RequestBody body: Map<String, Any> ): Mono<Map<String, Any>> { val query: String = body["query"] as String? ?: "{}" return graphQLService.processQuery(query) .map { it.toSpecification() } } REACTIVE API
83. { "data": { "dog": { "fact": "“Him” and “Her” were the names of President Lyndon Johnson's two beagles.", "length": 73 }, "cat": { "fact": "Jaguars are the only big cats that don't roar.", "length": 46 } } } RESULT
84. Resilience Protect the downstream services from the upstream.
85. 250ms 380ms 380ms
86. CAT FACTS BROKEN 250ms 30s 30s
87. { "data": { "dog": {…}, "cat": null }, "errors": [ { "message": "Exception while fetching data (/cat) : Operation timed out", "path": [ "cat" ] } ] }
88. TIMEOUT 250ms 5000ms 5000ms
89. class CatFactFetcher( val webClient: WebClient ) : FactFetcher { override fun get(environment: DataFetchingEnvironment): CompletionStage<Fact?> = webClient.get().uri("https://catfact.ninja/fact") .retrieve() .bodyToMono(CatFact::class.java) .map { … } .timeout(Duration.ofMillis(5000)) .toFuture() } CAT FACTS WITH TIMEOUT
90. { "data": { "dog": {…}, "cat": null }, "errors": [ { "message": "Exception while fetching data (/cat) : Did not observe any item or terminal signal within 5000ms in 'map' (and no fallback has been configured)", "path": [ “cat" ] } ] }
91. CIRCUIT BREAKER 250ms 0ms 250ms
92. CIRCUIT BREAKER Closed Open Half-open
93. class CatFactFetcher( val webClient: WebClient, val catBreaker: CircuitBreaker ) : FactFetcher { override fun get(environment: DataFetchingEnvironment): CompletionStage<Fact?> = webClient.get()
 … .timeout(Duration.ofMillis(2500)) .transform( CircuitBreakerOperator.of(catBreaker) ) .toFuture() } CAT FACTS FETCHER WITH CIRCUIT BREAKER
94. @Bean fun catCircuitBreaker(): CircuitBreaker { val circuitBreakerConfig = CircuitBreakerConfig.custom() .ringBufferSizeInClosedState(3) .ringBufferSizeInHalfOpenState(3) .waitDurationInOpenState(Duration.ofMillis(5000)) .failureRateThreshold(0.5f) .build() return circuitBreakerRegistry.circuitBreaker( "CatCCB", circuitBreakerConfig ) }
95. { "data": { "dog": {…}, "cat": null }, "errors": [ { "message": "Exception while fetching data (/cat) : CircuitBreaker 'CatCCB' is OPEN and does not permit further calls", "path": [ "cat" ] } ] }
96. CIRCUIT BREAKER 250ms 0ms 250ms But we might miss some cat facts.
97. Takeaways Even if you forget everything else I said, please try…
98. GraphQL For APIs consumed from the front-end. Resilience To prevent propagating errors downstream. Reactive For I/O heavy apps. Takeaways
99. Beyond Future Because you were going to ask about coroutines…
100. GraphQL Java There are already pure Kotlin libraries. Spring boot has a set of starters too. Coroutines Support in Spring. New utilities for Project reactor. Alternatives
101. fun processQuery(query: String): Map<String, Any> @PostMapping( path = ["/graphql"], consumes = [MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE], produces = [MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE] ) fun graphqlCoroutines( @RequestBody body: Map<String, Any> ): Mono<Map<String, Any>> = mono(Unconfined) { val query: String = body["query"] as String? ?: "{}" graphQLService.processQuery(query) } REACTOR WITH COROUTINES
