About APNs

  • Apple Push Notification service
  • The service to delivery Push Notification to iOS devices.
  • Developers can use the service with APNs Provider API

 

About APNs

  1. Sending Notification to APNs on Background
    • Network latency.
    • e.g. Lobi to APNs average response time is 0.15 sec
  2. Pooling TCP connections (with APNs)
    • APNs will treats with the Denial service of Attacks.
    • Not creates too many tcp connections
  3. Screening Invalid Device Tokens
    • Cannot delivery a part of notifications after the invalid token
    • Didn't delivery some notifications after APNs reponse EOF (on Lobi)
    • 2 pattern screening cases:
      • Error Response = delete imediately
      • Feedback service = delete periodically

Implementation Notification Provider Server

  • Implements Push notification with AnyEvent::APNS (Perl)
    • Persistent TCP connection
    • Receives HTTP POST by JSON array format
  • Delete Invalid Token as Error Response Imediatelly
  • Using Feedback service from cron
  • Retry to Send Push Notification due to Invalid Tokens
    • Stores sending histories

Legacy APNs

  • Due to Invalid tokens, cannot delivery some notification...
    • cannot send properly when to overflow queue size for retring 
  • Cannot know all invalid tokens perfectly
    • So, cannot screen all invalid tokens.
    • Accumulate invalid tokens into DB gradually.
    • These tokens cause EOF.

New APNｓ

New APNs

  1. HTTP/2
  2. Feedback service includes Error Response
  3. Easy to authenticate APNs
  4. Extends payload size to 4096 bytes


WWDC-2015 (8/26) 「What's New in Notifications」

HTTP/2

  • Delivery notifications after the Invalid token
    • HTTP/2 feature of multiple request and response
  • Growing performance
    • Using efficently one http client because that http/2 allows multiple request and response 

Without Feedback Service cron

  • New APNs replies many error types
  • New APNs replies the error response type as a previous Feedback service

Golang ...

introduced http/2 at Go 1.6.

Go 1.6 will be released at February !

Gunfish

Gunfish

  • Goal is to delivery all Push Notification
  • Notification Provider server created by Go1.6
    • Currently only supports new APNs Provider API
  • Designed to delivery by post JSON array on HTTP/1.1
    • for backword compatibility
  • Command hook and custom error handler when to catch error response
    • Feature to delete invalid tokens.
  • graceful restart
  • Enable to tune a performance

Worker & Sender

Worker

  • 1worker, 1 http/2 client
  • Sender receives APNs response asynchronously

Sender

  • 1 worker, N sender
  • requests APNs
  • give a APNs response own Worker
  • Sender number is max multiplexity of http/2 client

Starts Gunfish

$ gunfish -c /etc/gunfish/config.toml

config.toml example:

[provider]
port = 38003
worker_num = 4 # http/2 client number
queue_size = 2000 # queue length for posted requests
max_request_size = 1000 # max JSON array size of posted request
max_connections = 1000 # max connection size between developer application and gunfish


[apns]
cert_file = "/path/to/cert_file.pem"
key_file = "/path/to/key_file.pem"
request_per_sec = 2000 # flow rate of notification per sec
sender_num = 30 # http/2 client multiplexity
error_hook = "your_hook_cmd.sh" # error response hook command

Gunfish Push Notification

$ curl -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" \ 
    -d '[{"token":"83fa0eb8a743c118fca80b0136bfee0", \
    "payload": {"aps": {"alert": "hoge", "sound": "default", "badge": 1}}}]' \
    http://localhost:38103/apns/push

{"result": "ok"}

// POST json array format
[
    {
        "token": "apns published device token",
        "payload": "APNs Payload"
    }
]

// Payload structure
{
    "aps": {
                "alert": {
                              "title": "foo",
                              "body": "bar"
                         },
                "sound": "default",
                "badge": 1
           },
    "option1": "some properties your application"
}

Custom Error Response Handler

// ResponseHandler interface
type ResponseHandler interface {
    OnResponse(*Request, *Response, error)
    HookCmd() string
}
  • Handling error response on golang layer
  • Implements ResponseHandler and set this Handler
InitErrorResponseHandler(YourCustomErrorHandler{})

Graceful Restart

  • Not terms application finished to send that queue contains data
    • Timeout to force shutdown is 2 min.
  • Server::Starter
$ start_server --port 38003 --interval 5 -- gunfish -c /etc/gunfish/config.toml
  • About Server::Starter

Performance tunning

Problem (example):

  • Goal is to delivery all notifications at flow rate as 5000 notification/sec

 

Setting parameters:

  • request_per_sec = 5000
  • worker num
  • sender num

Performance tunning

  • h2o APNs Mock server ( mruby )

 

  • wrk command bench
    • 1 POST, 200 Notification

 

 

  • Starts gunfish for bench

 

 

$ h2o -c conf/h2o/h2o.conf
$ wrk2 -t2 -c20 -d10 -s bench/scripts/err_and_success.lua -L -R25 http://localhost:38103
$ gunfish -c /etc/gunfish/config.toml -E test 2> gunfish.log

Performance tunning

Memory Leak Problem

  1. HTTP/2 client cause memory leak (2016/2/2-2/3)
  2. Restart Gunfish per 30 min by cron as interim measures (2016/2/3)

Memory Leak Problem

  • Analized by pprof
$ go tool pprof gunfish http://localhost:2412/debug/pprof/profile

(pprof) > top
(pprof) > list
  • Invesitigates a problem and cause with pprof
  • checks that already issued official repository

Memory Leak Problem

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/14084

net/http: http2 Transport retains Request.Body after request is complete, not GCed #14084

Memory Leak Problem

Solve memory leak problems, so deployed all productions

Summary

Summary

  • APNs Provider Server with Golang http/2 client
  • Gunfish design concept is 'delivering all notifications'
  • Catch up problems quickly when to use latest
  • I wanted to create bench as tunning is more easy
  • I want to support GCM in the future
