High-Performance Erlang Network Client Framework

shackle

High-Performance Erlang Network Client Framework

Build Status

Requirements

  • Erlang 19.0+

Features

  • Backpressure via backlog (OOM protection)
  • Fast pool implementation (random, round_robin)
  • Managed timeouts
  • Multi-protocol support (SSL / TCP / UDP)
  • Performance-optimized
  • Request pipelining
  • Smart reconnect mechanism (exponential backoff)

Framework goals

  • Reusability
  • Speed
  • Concurrency
  • Safety

How-to

Implementing a client

-behavior(shackle_client).
-export([
    init/0,
    setup/2,
    handle_request/2,
    handle_data/2,
    terminate/1
]).

-record(state, {
    buffer =       <<>> :: binary(),
    request_counter = 0 :: non_neg_integer()
}).

-spec init(Options :: term()) ->
    {ok, State :: term()} |
    {error, Reason :: term()}.

init(_Options) ->
    {ok, #state {}}.

-spec setup(Socket :: inet:socket(), State :: term()) ->
    {ok, State :: term()} |
    {error, Reason :: term(), State :: term()}.

setup(Socket, State) ->
    case gen_tcp:send(Socket, <<"INIT">>) of
        ok ->
            case gen_tcp:recv(Socket, 0) of
                {ok, <<"OK">>} ->
                    {ok, State};
                {error, Reason} ->
                    {error, Reason, State}
            end;
        {error, Reason} ->
            {error, Reason, State}
    end.

-spec handle_request(Request :: term(), State :: term()) ->
    {ok, RequestId :: external_request_id(), Data :: iodata(), State :: term()}.

handle_request(noop,  State) ->
    Data = arithmetic_protocol:request(0, noop, 0, 0),

    {ok, undefined, Data, State};
handle_request({Operation, A, B}, #state {
        request_counter = RequestCounter
    } = State) ->

    RequestId = request_id(RequestCounter),
    Data = request(RequestId, Operation, A, B),

    {ok, RequestId, Data, State#state {
        request_counter = RequestCounter + 1
    }}.

-spec handle_data(Data :: binary(), State :: term()) ->
    {ok, [{RequestId :: external_request_id(), Reply :: term()}], State :: term()}.

handle_data(Data, #state {
        buffer = Buffer
    } = State) ->

    Data2 = <<Buffer/binary, Data/binary>>,
    {Replies, Buffer2} = parse_replies(Data2, []),

    {ok, Replies, State#state {
        buffer = Buffer2
    }}.

-spec terminate(State :: term()) -> ok.

terminate(_State) -> ok.

Starting client pool

shackle_pool:start(shackle_pool:name(), client(), client_options(), pool_options())
client_options:
Name Type Default Description
address inet:ip_address() | inet:hostname() "127.0.0.1" server address (formerly ip)
port inet:port_number() undefined server port
protocol shackle_tcp | shackle_udp | shackle_ssl shackle_tcp server protocol
reconnect boolean() true reconnect closed connections
reconnect_time_max pos_integer() | infinity 120000 maximum reconnect time in milliseconds
reconnect_time_min pos_integer() 1000 minimum reconnect time in milliseconds
socket_options [gen_tcp:connect_option() | gen_udp:option()] [] options passed to the socket
pool_options:
Name Type Default Description
backlog_size pos_integer() | infinity 1024 maximum number of concurrent requests per connection
max_retries non_neg_integer() 3 maximum number of tries to find an active server
pool_size pos_integer() 16 number of connections
pool_strategy random | round_robin random connection selection strategy

Calling / Casting client

1> shackle:call(pool_name, {get, <<"test">>}).
{ok, <<"bar">>}

2> {ok, ReqId} = shackle:cast(pool_name, {get, <<"foo">>}, 500).
{ok, {anchor, anchor_client, #Ref<0.0.0.2407>}}

3> shackle:receive_response(ReqId).
{ok, <<"bar">>}

Telemetry

Shackle integrates with the backend-agnostic telemetry library. See shackle_telemetry for the list of telemetry events that shackle can emit.

Tests

make dialyzer
make eunit
make xref

Performance testing

To run performance testing targets you must first start the server:

./bin/server.sh

Then you can run the bench or profile target:

make bench
make profile

Clients

Name Description
anchor Memcached Client
buoy HTTP 1.1 Client
flare Kafka Producer
marina Cassandra CQL Client
statsderl StatsD Client
