RateLimiter SPI code analysis

Rate limiter is a very important integral of gateway application, to deal with high traffic. When the system is attacked abnormally by a large number of traffic gathered in a short time; When there are a large number of lower priority request need to be slow down or else it will effect your high priority transactions; Or sometimes your system can not afford the regular traffic; in these scenarios, we need to start rate limiter component to protect our system, through rejection, wait, load shedding,etc, limit the requests to an acceptable quantities, or only certain domains (or services) requests can get through.

LoadBalancer SPI Source Code Analysis

Gateway applications need to support a variety of load balancing strategies, including random,Hashing, RoundRobin and so on. In Apache Shenyu gateway, it not only realizes such traditional algorithms, but also makes smoother traffic processing for the entry of server nodes through detailed processing such as traffic warm-up, so as to obtain better overall stability. In this article, let's walk through how Apache Shenyu is designed and implemented this part of the function.

WebSocket Data Synchronization Source Code Analysis

In ShenYu gateway, data synchronization refers to how to synchronize the updated data to the gateway after the data is sent in the background management system. The Apache ShenYu gateway currently supports data synchronization for ZooKeeper, WebSocket, http long poll, Nacos, etcd and Consul. The main content of this article is based on WebSocket data synchronization source code analysis.

MatchStrategy -- analyze the design based on SPI

In most of the plugins ( such as Dubbo, gRPC,Spring-cloud, etc) of Apache Shenyu, the routingparameters are designed to support the combination of multiple conditions. In order to realize such requirements, the parameters and behaviors are abstracted to three parts according to its SPI mechanism, and implemented in shenyu-plugin-base module.

PredicateJudge -- analyze the design based on SPI

Apache Shenyu has been identified as a gateway application which supports a variety of protocols and microservice frameworks such as Dubbo, gRPC, Spring-Cloud, etc. To do this, the product has accomplished an elegant SPI (Service Provider Interface) as its foundation, and make the Rule data parsing and predicting program very simple , resiliency and security. As to rule data parsing processing, the SPI design increases the product's scalability. When appending new plugin, in most cases, the existing module is enough for rule data parsing , otherwise it can be rapidly carry out with tiny effort.
