Spring Cloud Overview

What

We'll be taking a look at Spring Cloud, the open source microservices framework from Pivotal.

 

Why

  • Spring Cloud embodies the collective knowledge of the JVM community on how microservices should be constructed.
  • Non-JVM and non-Spring projects can borrow ideas from the stack and look for analogues.
  • In some cases, the technology is non-JVM specific and can be shared.
  • The hope is to start a discussion about how we borrow some of their ideas and implementation for non-JVM usages

 

How

  • We'll be looking at examples from working code.
  • We'll be taking a brief look at the various pieces that underpin Spring Cloud.
  • We'll speculate as to how well the tools and techniques put forth by Spring Cloud might fit our situation.

 

Spring Cloud

Spring Cloud provides tools for developers to quickly build some of the common patterns in distributed systems (e.g. configuration management, service discovery, circuit breakers, intelligent routing, micro-proxy, control bus, one-time tokens, global locks, leadership election, distributed sessions, cluster state). Coordination of distributed systems leads to boiler plate patterns, and using Spring Cloud developers can quickly stand up services and applications that implement those patterns. They will work well in any distributed environment, including the developer's own laptop, bare metal data centres, and managed platforms such as Cloud Foundry.

Spring Cloud

  • open source -- everything is in GitHub
  • follows the familiar Spring programming model
  • in general, integrates with best-of-breed technologies, inventing new ones only in rare cases
  • many times, multiple integration options are available
  • is easily incorporated into existing Spring projects
  • it is possible to leverage some of the tools in non-JVM applications via "side cars".
  • follows many of the 12 Factor App guidelines

Features

  • distributed/versioned configuration
  • service registration and discovery
  • load balancing
  • routing
  • distributed messaging
  • service-to-service calls
  • circuit-breakers
  • metrics
  • distributed tracing
  • global locks
  • leadership election and cluster state

Distributed Configuration

  • Spring already has a rich configuration mechanism: local file, system property, environment property, command-line switch
  • Spring Cloud augments the existing mechanism with an external configuration service where changes can be version controlled and peer reviewed, separate from the code or build artifact.
  • Changes can be reflected in all running servers without having to "bounce" them.
  • Git is a popular backing store but there are other options, including Consul.

Distributed Configuration

  • REST API supports multiple ways of obtaining configurations
  • configurations are composable and overridable
/{application}/{profile}[/{label}]
/{application}-{profile}.yml
/{label}/{application}-{profile}.yml
/{application}-{profile}.properties
/{label}/{application}-{profile}.properties
  • application = spring.application.name
  • profile = spring.active.profiles
  • label is Git branch, tag, label or commit id

Load Balancing

  • Ribbon is Netflix's client-side load balancer.
  • Feign is Netflix's delcarative REST client that bundles in load-balancing, retry logic, circuit-breakers and RxJava support.
  • Using RestTemplate means that we have to bake in all those features ourselves.  Options include Groovy meta-programming, Java Aspects or by hand implementation of the RestOperations interface.

Routing

  • Feign is a Netflix abstraction that combines best practices into a single solution.
  • service discovery
  • load balancing
  • circuit-breakers
  • timeouts
  • bulk-heading
  • delcarative HTTP client

Routing

Zuul is the front door for all requests from devices and web sites to the backend of the Netflix streaming application. As an edge service application, Zuul is built to enable dynamic routing, monitoring, resiliency and security. It also has the ability to route requests to multiple Amazon Auto Scaling Groups as appropriate.

Routing

  • Authentication and Security - identifying authentication requirements for each resource and rejecting requests that do not satisfy them.
  • Insights and Monitoring - tracking meaningful data and statistics at the edge in order to give us an accurate view of production.
  • Dynamic Routing - dynamically routing requests to different backend clusters as needed.
  • Stress Testing - gradually increasing the traffic to a cluster in order to gauge performance.

Routing

  • Load Shedding - allocating capacity for each type of request and dropping requests that go over the limit.
  • Static Response handling - building some responses directly at the edge instead of forwarding them to an internal cluster
  • Multiregion Resiliency - routing requests across AWS regions in order to diversify our ELB usage and move our edge closer to our members

Distributed Messaging

Spring Cloud Bus links nodes of a distributed system with a lightweight message broker. This can then be used to broadcast state changes (e.g. configuration changes) or other management instructions. A key idea is that the Bus is like a distributed Actuator for a Spring Boot application that is scaled out, but it can also be used as a communication channel between apps. The only implementation currently is with an AMQP broker as the transport, but the same basic feature set (and some more depending on the transport) is on the roadmap for other transports.

Distributed Messaging

  • Spring Cloud Bus integrates with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket to monitor changes in the configuration repository and automatically push out notifications to applications that they should refresh their configurations
  • The bus currently supports sending messages to all nodes listening or all nodes for a particular service.

Distributed Messaging

Spring Cloud Stream is a framework for building message-driven microservices. Spring Cloud Stream builds upon Spring Boot to create DevOps friendly microservice applications and Spring Integration to provide connectivity to message brokers. Spring Cloud Stream provides an opinionated configuration of message brokers, introducing the concepts of persistent pub/sub semantics, consumer groups and partitions across several middleware vendors. This opinionated configuration provides the basis to create stream processing applications.

Distributed Messaging

  • RabbitMQ
  • Redis
  • Kafka
  • Gemfire
  • Amazon SQS?
  • Simple to set up and use
  • a consumer group deals with the competing consumer problem -- only one instance in the group will get the message
  • partitioning is "sticky" routing of messages where stateful processing is important
  • Spring Integration under the hood

Service-To-Service Calls

While Spring Cloud Stream makes it easy for individual boot apps to connect to messaging systems, the typical scenario for Spring Cloud Stream is the creation of multi-app pipelines, where microservice apps are sending data to each other. This can be achieved by correlating the input and output destinations of adjacent apps.

  • instance counting and instance indexing help deal with scale out
  • partition targeting ensures data arrives at its intended destination, regardless of the size of the cluster

Security

Spring Cloud Security offers a set of primitives for building secure applications and services with minimum fuss. A declarative model which can be heavily configured externally (or centrally) lends itself to the implementation of large systems of co-operating, remote components, usually with a central indentity management service. It is also extremely easy to use in a service platform like Cloud Foundry. Building on Spring Boot and Spring Security OAuth2 we can quickly create systems that implement common patterns like single sign on, token relay and token exchange.

Security

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableOAuth2Sso  <---- Turns on OAuth2 single sign on
@EnableResourceServer <---- Makes this application a resource server
@EnableAuthorizationServer <---- Make this application an authorization server

@EnableConfigurationProperties( ApplicationProperties )
class Application {

    static void main( String[] args ) {
        SpringApplication.run( Application, args )
    }
}

Security

  • never got the GitHub example fully working
  • can run our own OAuth2 servers, if desired
  • Spring has an OAuth2RestTemplate that automatically does the token management for us

  • Netflix has a metrics library called Spectator
  • It provides counters, timers, gauges and distribution summaries
  • Netflix has a metrics back end called Atlas

An Atlas standalone node running on an r3.2xlarge (61GB RAM) can handle roughly 2 million metrics per minute for a given 6 hour window.

Distributed Tracing

  • distributed tracing is complicated
  • Google wrote "Dapper, a Large-Scale Distributed Systems Tracing Infrastructure"
  • Twitter implemented it in their Zipkin framework
  • Spring Sleuth is a Dapper compatible abstraction that can integrate with a couple back-ends, including Zipkin

Distributed Tracing

Distributed Tracing

Span: The basic unit of work. For example, sending an RPC is a new span, as is sending a response to an RPC. Span’s are identified by a unique 64-bit ID for the span and another 64-bit ID for the trace the span is a part of. Spans also have other data, such as descriptions, timestamped events, key-value annotations (tags), the ID of the span that caused them, and process ID’s (normally IP address).

Spans are started and stopped, and they keep track of their timing information. Once you create a span, you must stop it at some point in the future.

Distributed Tracing

Trace: A set of spans forming a tree-like structure. For example, if you are running a distributed big-data store, a trace might be formed by a put request.

Distributed Tracing

Annotation: is used to record existence of an event in time. Some of the core annotations used to define the start and stop of a request are:

  • cs - Client Sent - The client has made a request. This annotation depicts the start of the span.

  • sr - Server Received - The server side got the request and will start processing it. If one subtracts the cs timestamp from this timestamp one will receive the network latency.

Distributed Tracing

  • ss - Server Sent - Annotated upon completion of request processing (when the response got sent back to the client). If one subtracts the sr timestamp from this timestamp one will receive the time needed by the server side to process the request.
  • cr - Client Received - Signifies the end of the span. The client has successfully received the response from the server side. If one subtracts the cs timestamp from this timestamp one will receive the whole time needed by the client to receive the response from the server.

Distributed Tracing

Distributed Tracing

All this is under a single trace id

Distributed Tracing

  • Spring automatically places interceptors on all inbound and outbound gateways
  • Circuit-breakers
  • HTTP filters
  • RestTemplate
  • Feign client
  • Spring Integration
  • Rabbit template?
  • Zuul

Distributed Tracing

  • log output can be searched via Kibana and Splunk
  • Logstash grok pattern provided
  • can output Zipkin compatible format
  • can output to Spring Cloud Stream
  • default output is to SLF4J
  • can use sampling for high volume scenarios
  • there is a manual API for special circumstances
  • appears to be very customizable

Global Locks

Never found documentation on how to do global locks.

Leadership Election

Spring Cloud Cluster offers a set of primitives for building "cluster" features into a distributed system. Example are leadership election, consistent storage of cluster state, global locks and one-time tokens.

  • Zookeper
  • Etcd
  • Hazelcast
  • Redis
  • Consul?

Leadership Election

@InboundGateway
class ClusterEventListener implements ApplicationListener<AbstractLeaderEvent> {

    @Override
    void onApplicationEvent( AbstractLeaderEvent event ) {

        switch ( event ) {
            case OnGrantedEvent:
                log.info( 'A new leader has been elected for role {}', event.role )
                break
            case OnRevokedEvent:
                break
                log.info( 'An old leader has been removed for role {}', event.role )
                break
            default:
                log.info( 'Heard an unclassified event of type {}', event.class.name )
