OpenRuko reverse proxy with Hipache

[Florian Traverse]

Hi !

I'm working on adding a reverse proxy using Hipache ( https://github.com/dotcloud/hipache ) to openruko in order to complete the stack and provide high availability. The only missing features of hipache are :

• reporting idle instances
• redirect to configuration 40x / 50x error pages if setted

All we need to do is add redis to openruko, and report app domains, etc. into redis rather than in postgre (or in both of them ?) we can then listen to dead instances thanks to redis pubsub, then it should work like a charm.

What do you think ? How should we handle hipache modification ? a maintained openruko forked ? try to put what is necessary into hipache ? just add request events in redis pubsub, and add a listener program to emit idle events ? add an "in redis" configuration for 40x/50x pages ?

Cheers,
Florian

That sounds like great work, and I'm all for adding Redis as a dependency. One feature of the full stack is HTTP caching, does hipache support that, or would using Varnish or something else be a good idea?

Yes, it supports cache, using lru-cache under the hood : https://github.com/dotcloud/hipache/blob/master/lib/cache.js

For those who can not wait for a good reverse proxy solution, here is a quick and dirty version :

Hi, 

this is great start !

Are you sure about https://github.com/Filirom1/httprouting/blob/master/httprouting/server.js#L53 ?  

It will be very usefull to bench this, to see if it's fast enough to serve several apps.

I am wondering if there is any index on fields 'retired' and 'name' in the openruko_data.instance table ?

maybe some "memoizee" with a short timeout like 5 seconds could help anyway

Nice shot Maxence !

Now there are indexes : https://github.com/openruko/apiserver/commit/57595242f981d5c7b87e5b3e3773f3d1c1de8144

and memoization : https://github.com/Filirom1/httprouting/commit/4333109996ace1d4352665072b930b28904b0478
