Guard

Build Status codecov GoReport

guard is a generic high performance circuit breaker & proxy written in Go. It has four major components:

  • radix tree & response status ring: which stores registered URLs
  • load balancer: which distributes requests(algorithms: randomized distribute, round robin, weighted round robin)
  • circuit breaker: which makes sure your backend services will not be broken down by a large quantity of requests
  • proxy server: it's based on fasthttp

Benchmark

I've made a simple benchmark on my laptop(i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz with 4 cores):

$ wrk --latency -H "Host: www.example.com" -c 2048 -d 30 -t 2 http://127.0.0.1:9999  # Nginx with 4 workers

For now, guard's proxy performance is about 55% of Nginx 1.76x faster than Nginx, and I'm still working on it! Don't worry, it will become better and better!

By the way, thanks the suggestion from @dongzerun, by configure the GOGC in environment, guard's proxy performance is about 70% of Nginx. guard does not allocate much memory now, GOGC does not make a change, but still say thanks to @dongzerun!

TODO

moved to https://github.com/jiajunhuang/guard/projects/1

Set it up

  1. build it using go get -u:
$ go get -u github.com/jiajunhuang/guard
  1. start it
$ guard
  1. now you need to register an application by send a POST request to http://127.0.0.1:12345/app with json like this:
{
    "name": "www.example.com",
    "backends": ["127.0.0.1:80", "127.0.0.1:80", "127.0.0.1:80"],
    "weights": [5, 1, 1],
    "ratio": 0.3,
    "paths": ["/"],
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "fallback_type": "text",
    "fallback_content": "hello world"
}

I'm doing it like this:

$ http POST :12345/app < backends.json 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 8
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2018 08:51:16 GMT

success!
  1. and now, it works! whoops! try it:
$ http :23456 'Host: www.example.com'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
  1. by the way, you can inspect your configuration by visit http://127.0.0.1:12345/ :
$ http :12345
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 235
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 14:11:02 GMT

{
    "apps": {
        "www.example.com": {
            "backends": [
                "127.0.0.1:80",
                "127.0.0.1:80",
                "127.0.0.1:80"
            ],
            "disable_tsr": false,
            "load_balance_method": "rr",
            "methods": [
                "GET",
                "GET"
            ],
            "name": "www.example.com",
            "paths": [
                "/",
                "/doc"
            ],
            "ratio": 0.3,
            "weights": [
                5,
                1,
                1
            ]
        }
    }
}
