kubernetes HA

shared by 張 旭 on 21 Jul 21 - No Cached
  • when a Node gets down, the pods of the broken node are still running for some time and they still get requests, and those requests, will fail.
  • 1- The Kubelet posts its status to the masters using –node-status-update-frequency=10s 2- A node dies 3- The kube controller manager is the one monitoring the nodes, using –-node-monitor-period=5s it checks, in the masters, the node status reported by the Kubelet. 4- Kube controller manager will see the node is unresponsive, and has this grace period –node-monitor-grace-period=40s until it considers the node unhealthy.
  • node-status-update-frequency x (N-1) != node-monitor-grace-period
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • 5- Once the node is marked as unhealthy, the kube controller manager will remove its pods based on –pod-eviction-timeout=5m0s
  • 6- Kube proxy has a watcher over the API, so the very first moment the pods are evicted the proxy will notice and update the iptables of the node, removing the endpoints from the services so the failing pods won’t be accessible anymore.

ruby-grape/grape: An opinionated framework for creating REST-like APIs in Ruby. - 0 views

github.com/grape

api rails ruby

shared by 張 旭 on 17 Dec 16 - No Cached
  • Grape is a REST-like API framework for Ruby.
  • designed to run on Rack or complement existing web application frameworks such as Rails and Sinatra by providing a simple DSL to easily develop RESTful APIs
  • Grape APIs are Rack applications that are created by subclassing Grape::API
  • ...54 more annotations...
  • Rails expects a subdirectory that matches the name of the Ruby module and a file name that matches the name of the class
  • mount multiple API implementations inside another one
  • mount on a path, which is similar to using prefix inside the mounted API itself.
  • four strategies in which clients can reach your API's endpoints: :path, :header, :accept_version_header and :param
  • clients should pass the desired version as a request parameter, either in the URL query string or in the request body.
  • clients should pass the desired version in the HTTP Accept head
  • clients should pass the desired version in the UR
  • clients should pass the desired version in the HTTP Accept-Version header.
  • add a description to API methods and namespaces
  • Request parameters are available through the params hash object
  • Parameters are automatically populated from the request body on POST and PUT
  • route string parameters will have precedence.
  • Grape allows you to access only the parameters that have been declared by your params block
  • By default declared(params) includes parameters that have nil values
  • all valid types
  • type: File
  • JSON objects and arrays of objects are accepted equally
  • any class can be used as a type so long as an explicit coercion method is supplied
  • As a special case, variant-member-type collections may also be declared, by passing a Set or Array with more than one member to type
  • Parameters can be nested using group or by calling requires or optional with a block
  • relevant if another parameter is given
  • Parameters options can be grouped
  • allow_blank can be combined with both requires and optional
  • Parameters can be restricted to a specific set of values
  • Parameters can be restricted to match a specific regular expression
  • Never define mutually exclusive sets with any required params
  • Namespaces allow parameter definitions and apply to every method within the namespace
  • define a route parameter as a namespace using route_param
  • create custom validation that use request to validate the attribute
  • rescue a Grape::Exceptions::ValidationErrors and respond with a custom response or turn the response into well-formatted JSON for a JSON API that separates individual parameters and the corresponding error messages
  • custom validation messages
  • Request headers are available through the headers helper or from env in their original form
  • define requirements for your named route parameters using regular expressions on namespace or endpoint
  • route will match only if all requirements are met
  • mix in a module
  • define reusable params
  • using cookies method
  • a 201 for POST-Requests
  • 204 for DELETE-Requests
  • 200 status code for all other Requests
  • use status to query and set the actual HTTP Status Code
  • raising errors with error!
  • It is very crucial to define this endpoint at the very end of your API, as it literally accepts every request.
  • rescue_from will rescue the exceptions listed and all their subclasses.
  • Grape::API provides a logger method which by default will return an instance of the Logger class from Ruby's standard library.
  • Grape supports a range of ways to present your data
  • Grape has built-in Basic and Digest authentication (the given block is executed in the context of the current Endpoint).
  • Authentication applies to the current namespace and any children, but not parents.
  • Blocks can be executed before or after every API call, using before, after, before_validation and after_validation
  • Before and after callbacks execute in the following order
  • Grape by default anchors all request paths, which means that the request URL should match from start to end to match
  • The namespace method has a number of aliases, including: group, resource, resources, and segment. Use whichever reads the best for your API.
  • test a Grape API with RSpec by making HTTP requests and examining the response
  • POST JSON data and specify the correct content-type.

shared by 張 旭 on 29 Jun 17 - No Cached
  • Writing an API is almost a given with modern web applications
  • A properly designed API should return two things: an HTTP response status-code and the response body.
  • Testing the status-code is necessary
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • testing the response body should just verify that the application is sending the right content.
  • Unauthorized
  • Forbidden
  • Your test should also ensure that any desired business logic gets completed as expected.
  • Request specs provide a thin wrapper around Rails’ integration tests, and are designed to drive behavior through the full stack
  • we’ll be doing json = JSON.parse(response.body) a lot. This should be a helper method.

kubernetes helm system

shared by 張 旭 on 17 Jul 19 - No Cached
  • Helm will figure out where to install Tiller by reading your Kubernetes configuration file (usually $HOME/.kube/config). This is the same file that kubectl uses.
  • kubectl cluster-info
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enabled
  • ...133 more annotations...
  • initialize the local CLI
  • install Tiller into your Kubernetes cluster
  • helm install
  • helm init --upgrade
  • By default, when Tiller is installed, it does not have authentication enabled.
  • helm repo update
  • Without a max history set the history is kept indefinitely, leaving a large number of records for helm and tiller to maintain.
  • helm init --upgrade
  • Whenever you install a chart, a new release is created.
  • one chart can be installed multiple times into the same cluster. And each can be independently managed and upgraded.
  • helm list function will show you a list of all deployed releases.
  • helm delete
  • helm status
  • you can audit a cluster’s history, and even undelete a release (with helm rollback).
  • the Helm server (Tiller).
  • The Helm client (helm)
  • brew install kubernetes-helm
  • Tiller, the server portion of Helm, typically runs inside of your Kubernetes cluster.
  • it can also be run locally, and configured to talk to a remote Kubernetes cluster.
  • Role-Based Access Control - RBAC for short
  • create a service account for Tiller with the right roles and permissions to access resources.
  • run Tiller in an RBAC-enabled Kubernetes cluster.
  • run kubectl get pods --namespace kube-system and see Tiller running.
  • helm inspect
  • Helm will look for Tiller in the kube-system namespace unless --tiller-namespace or TILLER_NAMESPACE is set.
  • For development, it is sometimes easier to work on Tiller locally, and configure it to connect to a remote Kubernetes cluster.
  • even when running locally, Tiller will store release configuration in ConfigMaps inside of Kubernetes.
  • helm version should show you both the client and server version.
  • Tiller stores its data in Kubernetes ConfigMaps, you can safely delete and re-install Tiller without worrying about losing any data.
  • helm reset
  • The --node-selectors flag allows us to specify the node labels required for scheduling the Tiller pod.
  • --override allows you to specify properties of Tiller’s deployment manifest.
  • helm init --override manipulates the specified properties of the final manifest (there is no “values” file).
  • The --output flag allows us skip the installation of Tiller’s deployment manifest and simply output the deployment manifest to stdout in either JSON or YAML format.
  • By default, tiller stores release information in ConfigMaps in the namespace where it is running.
  • switch from the default backend to the secrets backend, you’ll have to do the migration for this on your own.
  • a beta SQL storage backend that stores release information in an SQL database (only postgres has been tested so far).
  • Once you have the Helm Client and Tiller successfully installed, you can move on to using Helm to manage charts.
  • Helm requires that kubelet have access to a copy of the socat program to proxy connections to the Tiller API.
  • A Release is an instance of a chart running in a Kubernetes cluster. One chart can often be installed many times into the same cluster.
  • helm init --client-only
  • helm init --dry-run --debug
  • A panic in Tiller is almost always the result of a failure to negotiate with the Kubernetes API server
  • Tiller and Helm have to negotiate a common version to make sure that they can safely communicate without breaking API assumptions
  • helm delete --purge
  • Helm stores some files in $HELM_HOME, which is located by default in ~/.helm
  • A Chart is a Helm package. It contains all of the resource definitions necessary to run an application, tool, or service inside of a Kubernetes cluster.
  • it like the Kubernetes equivalent of a Homebrew formula, an Apt dpkg, or a Yum RPM file.
  • A Repository is the place where charts can be collected and shared.
  • Set the $HELM_HOME environment variable
  • each time it is installed, a new release is created.
  • Helm installs charts into Kubernetes, creating a new release for each installation. And to find new charts, you can search Helm chart repositories.
  • chart repository is named stable by default
  • helm search shows you all of the available charts
  • helm inspect
  • To install a new package, use the helm install command. At its simplest, it takes only one argument: The name of the chart.
  • If you want to use your own release name, simply use the --name flag on helm install
  • additional configuration steps you can or should take.
  • Helm does not wait until all of the resources are running before it exits. Many charts require Docker images that are over 600M in size, and may take a long time to install into the cluster.
  • helm status
  • helm inspect values
  • helm inspect values stable/mariadb
  • override any of these settings in a YAML formatted file, and then pass that file during installation.
  • helm install -f config.yaml stable/mariadb
  • --values (or -f): Specify a YAML file with overrides.
  • --set (and its variants --set-string and --set-file): Specify overrides on the command line.
  • Values that have been --set can be cleared by running helm upgrade with --reset-values specified.
  • Chart designers are encouraged to consider the --set usage when designing the format of a values.yaml file.
  • --set-file key=filepath is another variant of --set. It reads the file and use its content as a value.
  • inject a multi-line text into values without dealing with indentation in YAML.
  • An unpacked chart directory
  • When a new version of a chart is released, or when you want to change the configuration of your release, you can use the helm upgrade command.
  • Kubernetes charts can be large and complex, Helm tries to perform the least invasive upgrade.
  • It will only update things that have changed since the last release
  • $ helm upgrade -f panda.yaml happy-panda stable/mariadb
  • deployment
  • If both are used, --set values are merged into --values with higher precedence.
  • The helm get command is a useful tool for looking at a release in the cluster.
  • helm rollback
  • A release version is an incremental revision. Every time an install, upgrade, or rollback happens, the revision number is incremented by 1.
  • helm history
  • a release name cannot be re-used.
  • you can rollback a deleted resource, and have it re-activate.
  • helm repo list
  • helm repo add
  • helm repo update
  • The Chart Development Guide explains how to develop your own charts.
  • helm create
  • helm lint
  • helm package
  • Charts that are archived can be loaded into chart repositories.
  • chart repository server
  • Tiller can be installed into any namespace.
  • Limiting Tiller to only be able to install into specific namespaces and/or resource types is controlled by Kubernetes RBAC roles and rolebindings
  • Release names are unique PER TILLER INSTANCE
  • Charts should only contain resources that exist in a single namespace.
  • not recommended to have multiple Tillers configured to manage resources in the same namespace.
  • a client-side Helm plugin. A plugin is a tool that can be accessed through the helm CLI, but which is not part of the built-in Helm codebase.
  • Helm plugins are add-on tools that integrate seamlessly with Helm. They provide a way to extend the core feature set of Helm, but without requiring every new feature to be written in Go and added to the core tool.
  • Helm plugins live in $(helm home)/plugins
  • The Helm plugin model is partially modeled on Git’s plugin model
  • helm referred to as the porcelain layer, with plugins being the plumbing.
  • helm plugin install https://github.com/technosophos/helm-template
  • command is the command that this plugin will execute when it is called.
  • Environment variables are interpolated before the plugin is executed.
  • The command itself is not executed in a shell. So you can’t oneline a shell script.
  • Helm is able to fetch Charts using HTTP/S
  • Variables like KUBECONFIG are set for the plugin if they are set in the outer environment.
  • In Kubernetes, granting a role to an application-specific service account is a best practice to ensure that your application is operating in the scope that you have specified.
  • restrict Tiller’s capabilities to install resources to certain namespaces, or to grant a Helm client running access to a Tiller instance.
  • Service account with cluster-admin role
  • The cluster-admin role is created by default in a Kubernetes cluster
  • Deploy Tiller in a namespace, restricted to deploying resources only in that namespace
  • Deploy Tiller in a namespace, restricted to deploying resources in another namespace
  • When running a Helm client in a pod, in order for the Helm client to talk to a Tiller instance, it will need certain privileges to be granted.
  • SSL Between Helm and Tiller
  • The Tiller authentication model uses client-side SSL certificates.
  • creating an internal CA, and using both the cryptographic and identity functions of SSL.
  • Helm is a powerful and flexible package-management and operations tool for Kubernetes.
  • default installation applies no security configurations
  • with a cluster that is well-secured in a private network with no data-sharing or no other users or teams.
  • With great power comes great responsibility.
  • Choose the Best Practices you should apply to your helm installation
  • Role-based access control, or RBAC
  • Tiller’s gRPC endpoint and its usage by Helm
  • Kubernetes employ a role-based access control (or RBAC) system (as do modern operating systems) to help mitigate the damage that can be done if credentials are misused or bugs exist.
  • In the default installation the gRPC endpoint that Tiller offers is available inside the cluster (not external to the cluster) without authentication configuration applied.
  • Tiller stores its release information in ConfigMaps. We suggest changing the default to Secrets.
  • release information
  • charts
  • charts are a kind of package that not only installs containers you may or may not have validated yourself, but it may also install into more than one namespace.
  • As with all shared software, in a controlled or shared environment you must validate all software you install yourself before you install it.
  • Helm’s provenance tools to ensure the provenance and integrity of charts

  • Continuous integration gives you confidence in your code. To extend that confidence to the release process, your deployment operations need to come with a safety belt.
  • these Kubernetes objects ensure that you can progressively deploy, roll back and scale your applications without downtime.
  • A pod is just a group of containers (it can be a group of one container) that run on the same machine, and share a few things together.
  • ...34 more annotations...
  • the containers within a pod can communicate with each other over localhost
  • From a network perspective, all the processes in these containers are local.
  • we can never create a standalone container: the closest we can do is create a pod, with a single container in it.
  • Kubernetes is a declarative system (by opposition to imperative systems).
  • All we can do, is describe what we want to have, and wait for Kubernetes to take action to reconcile what we have, with what we want to have.
  • In other words, we can say, “I would like a 40-feet long blue container with yellow doors“, and Kubernetes will find such a container for us. If it doesn’t exist, it will build it; if there is already one but it’s green with red doors, it will paint it for us; if there is already a container of the right size and color, Kubernetes will do nothing, since what we have already matches what we want.
  • The specification of a replica set looks very much like the specification of a pod, except that it carries a number, indicating how many replicas
  • What happens if we change that definition? Suddenly, there are zero pods matching the new specification.
  • the creation of new pods could happen in a more gradual manner.
  • the specification for a deployment looks very much like the one for a replica set: it features a pod specification, and a number of replicas.
  • Deployments, however, don’t create or delete pods directly.
  • When we update a deployment and adjust the number of replicas, it passes that update down to the replica set.
  • When we update the pod specification, the deployment creates a new replica set with the updated pod specification. That replica set has an initial size of zero. Then, the size of that replica set is progressively increased, while decreasing the size of the other replica set.
  • we are going to fade in (turn up the volume) on the new replica set, while we fade out (turn down the volume) on the old one.
  • During the whole process, requests are sent to pods of both the old and new replica sets, without any downtime for our users.
  • A readiness probe is a test that we add to a container specification.
  • Kubernetes supports three ways of implementing readiness probes:Running a command inside a container;Making an HTTP(S) request against a container; orOpening a TCP socket against a container.
  • When we roll out a new version, Kubernetes will wait for the new pod to mark itself as “ready” before moving on to the next one.
  • If there is no readiness probe, then the container is considered as ready, as long as it could be started.
  • MaxSurge indicates how many extra pods we are willing to run during a rolling update, while MaxUnavailable indicates how many pods we can lose during the rolling update.
  • Setting MaxUnavailable to 0 means, “do not shutdown any old pod before a new one is up and ready to serve traffic“.
  • Setting MaxSurge to 100% means, “immediately start all the new pods“, implying that we have enough spare capacity on our cluster, and that we want to go as fast as possible.
  • kubectl rollout undo deployment web
  • the replica set doesn’t look at the pods’ specifications, but only at their labels.
  • A replica set contains a selector, which is a logical expression that “selects” (just like a SELECT query in SQL) a number of pods.
  • it is absolutely possible to manually create pods with these labels, but running a different image (or with different settings), and fool our replica set.
  • Selectors are also used by services, which act as the load balancers for Kubernetes traffic, internal and external.
  • internal IP address (denoted by the name ClusterIP)
  • during a rollout, the deployment doesn’t reconfigure or inform the load balancer that pods are started and stopped. It happens automatically through the selector of the service associated to the load balancer.
  • a pod is added as a valid endpoint for a service only if all its containers pass their readiness check. In other words, a pod starts receiving traffic only once it’s actually ready for it.
  • In blue/green deployment, we want to instantly switch over all the traffic from the old version to the new, instead of doing it progressively
  • We can achieve blue/green deployment by creating multiple deployments (in the Kubernetes sense), and then switching from one to another by changing the selector of our service
  • kubectl label pods -l app=blue,version=v1.5 status=enabled
  • kubectl label pods -l app=blue,version=v1.4 status-

development architecture system server backend

shared by 張 旭 on 12 Jul 16 - No Cached
  • Serverless was first used to describe applications that significantly or fully depend on 3rd party applications / services (‘in the cloud’) to manage server-side logic and state.
  • ‘rich client’ applications (think single page web apps, or mobile apps) that use the vast ecosystem of cloud accessible databases (like Parse, Firebase), authentication services (Auth0, AWS Cognito), etc.
  • ‘(Mobile) Backend as a Service’
  • ...33 more annotations...
  • Serverless can also mean applications where some amount of server-side logic is still written by the application developer but unlike traditional architectures is run in stateless compute containers that are event-triggered, ephemeral (may only last for one invocation), and fully managed by a 3rd party.
  • ‘Functions as a service
  • AWS Lambda is one of the most popular implementations of FaaS at present,
  • A good example is Auth0 - they started initially with BaaS ‘Authentication as a Service’, but with Auth0 Webtask they are entering the FaaS space.
  • a typical ecommerce app
  • a backend data-processing service
  • with zero administration.
  • FaaS offerings do not require coding to a specific framework or library.
  • Horizontal scaling is completely automatic, elastic, and managed by the provider
  • Functions in FaaS are triggered by event types defined by the provider.
  • a FaaS-supported message broker
  • from a deployment-unit point of view FaaS functions are stateless.
  • allowed the client direct access to a subset of our database
  • deleted the authentication logic in the original application and have replaced it with a third party BaaS service
  • The client is in fact well on its way to becoming a Single Page Application.
  • implement a FaaS function that responds to http requests via an API Gateway
  • port the search code from the Pet Store server to the Pet Store Search function
  • replaced a long lived consumer application with a FaaS function that runs within the event driven context
  • server applications - is a key difference when comparing with other modern architectural trends like containers and PaaS
  • the only code that needs to change when moving to FaaS is the ‘main method / startup’ code, in that it is deleted, and likely the specific code that is the top-level message handler (the ‘message listener interface’ implementation), but this might only be a change in method signature
  • With FaaS you need to write the function ahead of time to assume parallelism
  • Most providers also allow functions to be triggered as a response to inbound http requests, typically in some kind of API gateway
  • you should assume that for any given invocation of a function none of the in-process or host state that you create will be available to any subsequent invocation.
  • FaaS functions are either naturally stateless
  • store state across requests or for further input to handle a request.
  • certain classes of long lived task are not suited to FaaS functions without re-architecture
  • if you were writing a low-latency trading application you probably wouldn’t want to use FaaS systems at this time
  • An API Gateway is an HTTP server where routes / endpoints are defined in configuration and each route is associated with a FaaS function.
  • API Gateway will allow mapping from http request parameters to inputs arguments for the FaaS function
  • API Gateways may also perform authentication, input validation, response code mapping, etc.
  • the Serverless Framework makes working with API Gateway + Lambda significantly easier than using the first principles provided by AWS.
  • Apex - a project to ‘Build, deploy, and manage AWS Lambda functions with ease.'
  • 'Serverless' to mean the union of a couple of other ideas - 'Backend as a Service' and 'Functions as a Service'.

  • A PKI allows you to bind public keys (contained in SSL certificates) with a person in a way that allows you to trust the certificate.
  • Public Key Infrastructures, like the one used to secure the Internet, most commonly use a Certificate Authority (also called a Registration Authority) to verify the identity of an entity and create unforgeable certificates.
  • An SSL Certificate Authority (also called a trusted third party or CA) is an organization that issues digital certificates to organizations or individuals after verifying their identity.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • An SSL Certificate provides assurances that we are talking to the right server, but the assurances are limited.
  • In PKI, trust simply means that a certificate can be validated by a CA that is in our trust store.
  • An SSL Certificate in a PKI is a digital document containing a public key, entity information, and a digital signature from the certificate issuer.
  • it is much more practical and secure to establish a chain of trust to the Root certificate by signing an Intermediate certificate
  • A trust store is a collection of Root certificates that are trusted by default.
  • there are four primary trust stores that are relied upon for the majority of software: Apple, Microsoft, Chrome, and Mozilla.
  • a revocation system that allows a certificate to be listed as invalid if it was improperly issued or if the private key has been compromised.
  • Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)
  • Certificate Revocation List (CRL)

Understanding Nginx Server and Location Block Selection Algorithms | DigitalOcean - 0 views

web server nginx config

shared by 張 旭 on 03 Feb 20 - No Cached
  • A server block is a subset of Nginx’s configuration that defines a virtual server used to handle requests of a defined type. Administrators often configure multiple server blocks and decide which block should handle which connection based on the requested domain name, port, and IP address.
  • A location block lives within a server block and is used to define how Nginx should handle requests for different resources and URIs for the parent server. The URI space can be subdivided in whatever way the administrator likes using these blocks. It is an extremely flexible model.
  • Nginx logically divides the configurations meant to serve different content into blocks, which live in a hierarchical structure. Each time a client request is made, Nginx begins a process of determining which configuration blocks should be used to handle the request.
  • ...37 more annotations...
  • Nginx is one of the most popular web servers in the world. It can successfully handle high loads with many concurrent client connections, and can easily function as a web server, a mail server, or a reverse proxy server.
  • The main server block directives that Nginx is concerned with during this process are the listen directive, and the server_name directive.
  • The listen directive typically defines which IP address and port that the server block will respond to.
  • 0.0.0.0:8080 if Nginx is being run by a normal, non-root user
  • Nginx translates all “incomplete” listen directives by substituting missing values with their default values so that each block can be evaluated by its IP address and port.
  • In any case, the port must be matched exactly.
  • If there are multiple server blocks with the same level of specificity matching, Nginx then begins to evaluate the server_name directive of each server block.
  • Nginx will only evaluate the server_name directive when it needs to distinguish between server blocks that match to the same level of specificity in the listen directive.
  • Nginx checks the request’s “Host” header. This value holds the domain or IP address that the client was actually trying to reach.
  • Nginx will first try to find a server block with a server_name that matches the value in the “Host” header of the request exactly.
  • If no exact match is found, Nginx will then try to find a server block with a server_name that matches using a leading wildcard (indicated by a * at the beginning of the name in the config).
  • If no match is found using a leading wildcard, Nginx then looks for a server block with a server_name that matches using a trailing wildcard (indicated by a server name ending with a * in the config)
  • If no match is found using a trailing wildcard, Nginx then evaluates server blocks that define the server_name using regular expressions (indicated by a ~ before the name).
  • If no regular expression match is found, Nginx then selects the default server block for that IP address and port.
  • There can be only one default_server declaration per each IP address/port combination.
  • Location blocks live within server blocks (or other location blocks) and are used to decide how to process the request URI (the part of the request that comes after the domain name or IP address/port).
  • If no modifiers are present, the location is interpreted as a prefix match.
  • =: If an equal sign is used, this block will be considered a match if the request URI exactly matches the location given.
  • ~: If a tilde modifier is present, this location will be interpreted as a case-sensitive regular expression match.
  • ~*: If a tilde and asterisk modifier is used, the location block will be interpreted as a case-insensitive regular expression match.
  • ^~: If a carat and tilde modifier is present, and if this block is selected as the best non-regular expression match, regular expression matching will not take place.
  • Keep in mind that if this block is selected and the request is fulfilled using an index page, an internal redirect will take place to another location that will be the actual handler of the request
  • Keeping in mind the types of location declarations we described above, Nginx evaluates the possible location contexts by comparing the request URI to each of the locations.
  • Nginx begins by checking all prefix-based location matches (all location types not involving a regular expression).
  • First, Nginx looks for an exact match.
  • If no exact (with the = modifier) location block matches are found, Nginx then moves on to evaluating non-exact prefixes.
  • After the longest matching prefix location is determined and stored, Nginx moves on to evaluating the regular expression locations (both case sensitive and insensitive).
  • by default, Nginx will serve regular expression matches in preference to prefix matches.
  • regular expression matches within the longest prefix match will “jump the line” when Nginx evaluates regex locations.
  • The exceptions to the “only one location block” rule may have implications on how the request is actually served and may not align with the expectations you had when designing your location blocks.
  • The index directive always leads to an internal redirect if it is used to handle the request.
  • In the case above, if you really need the execution to stay in the first block, you will have to come up with a different method of satisfying the request to the directory.
  • one way of preventing an index from switching contexts, but it’s probably not useful for most configurations
  • the try_files directive. This directive tells Nginx to check for the existence of a named set of files or directories.
  • the rewrite directive. When using the last parameter with the rewrite directive, or when using no parameter at all, Nginx will search for a new matching location based on the results of the rewrite.
  • The error_page directive can lead to an internal redirect similar to that created by try_files.
  • when certain status codes are encountered.

  • db.serverStatus().globalLock
  • db.serverStatus().locks
  • globalLock.currentQueue.total: This number can indicate a possible concurrency issue if it’s consistently high. This can happen if a lot of requests are waiting for a lock to be released.
  • ...35 more annotations...
  • globalLock.totalTime: If this is higher than the total database uptime, the database has been in a lock state for too long.
  • Unlike relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, MongoDB uses JSON-like documents for storing data.
  • Databases operate in an environment that consists of numerous reads, writes, and updates.
  • When a lock occurs, no other operation can read or modify the data until the operation that initiated the lock is finished.
  • locks.deadlockCount: Number of times the lock acquisitions have encountered deadlocks
  • Is the database frequently locking from queries? This might indicate issues with the schema design, query structure, or system architecture.
  • For version 3.2 on, WiredTiger is the default.
  • MMAPv1 locks whole collections, not individual documents.
  • WiredTiger performs locking at the document level.
  • When the MMAPv1 storage engine is in use, MongoDB will use memory-mapped files to store data.
  • All available memory will be allocated for this usage if the data set is large enough.
  • db.serverStatus().mem
  • mem.resident: Roughly equivalent to the amount of RAM in megabytes that the database process uses
  • If mem.resident exceeds the value of system memory and there’s a large amount of unmapped data on disk, we’ve most likely exceeded system capacity.
  • If the value of mem.mapped is greater than the amount of system memory, some operations will experience page faults.
  • The WiredTiger storage engine is a significant improvement over MMAPv1 in performance and concurrency.
  • By default, MongoDB will reserve 50 percent of the available memory for the WiredTiger data cache.
  • wiredTiger.cache.bytes currently in the cache – This is the size of the data currently in the cache.
  • wiredTiger.cache.tracked dirty bytes in the cache – This is the size of the dirty data in the cache.
  • we can look at the wiredTiger.cache.bytes read into cache value for read-heavy applications. If this value is consistently high, increasing the cache size may improve overall read performance.
  • check whether the application is read-heavy. If it is, increase the size of the replica set and distribute the read operations to secondary members of the set.
  • write-heavy, use sharding within a sharded cluster to distribute the load.
  • Replication is the propagation of data from one node to another
  • Replication sets handle this replication.
  • Sometimes, data isn’t replicated as quickly as we’d like.
  • a particularly thorny problem if the lag between a primary and secondary node is high and the secondary becomes the primary
  • use the db.printSlaveReplicationInfo() or the rs.printSlaveReplicationInfo() command to see the status of a replica set from the perspective of the secondary member of the set.
  • shows how far behind the secondary members are from the primary. This number should be as low as possible.
  • monitor this metric closely.
  • watch for any spikes in replication delay.
  • Always investigate these issues to understand the reasons for the lag.
  • One replica set is primary. All others are secondary.
  • it’s not normal for nodes to change back and forth between primary and secondary.
  • use the profiler to gain a deeper understanding of the database’s behavior.
  • Enabling the profiler can affect system performance, due to the additional activity.
