Rootconf 2018

On scaling infrastructure and operations

##About Rootconf 2018 and who should attend:

Rootconf is India’s best conference on DevOps, SRE and IT infrastructure. Rootconf attracts systems and operations engineers to share real-world knowledge about building reliable systems.

The 2018 edition is a single track conference. Day 1 – 10 May – features talks on security. Colin Charles (chief evangelist at Percona Foundation), Pukhraj Singh (former national cybersecurity manager at UIDAI), Shamim Reza (open source enthusiast), Alisha Gurung (network engineer at Bhutan Telecom) and Derick Thomas (former network engineer at VSNL and Airtel Bharti) will touch on important aspects of infrastructure, database, network and enterprise security.

Day 2 – 11 May – is filled with case studies and stories about legacy code, immutable infrastructure, root-cause analysis, handling dependencies and monitoring. Talks from Exotel, Kayako, Intuit, Helpshift, Digital Ocean, among others, will help you evaluate DevOps tools and architecture patterns.

Building and running 200K msgs/sec WebSockets platform @ Helpshift

Submitted Mar 7, 2018

I will talk about how we built and maintained a WebSockets platform on AWS infra.
You can expect to have insights about,

  • How to build and evovle a WebSockets platform on AWS
  • How we made the platform more resilient to failures known and unknown
  • How we saved costs by using right strategy for auto-scaling and load balancing
  • How to monitor a WebSockets platform

Outline

  • Building / Running a high scale websockets service on AWS
    • Building and Evolving
      • JVM + Clojure + http-kit
        • Websocket server
      • ZMQ
        • Transporting messages
        • ZMQ patterns
      • Zookeeper
        • Using it with ZMQ brokers
      • How it all fits together? Overview of Architecture
    • Monitoring
      • Statsd + Grafana
      • Debugging and Audit patterns using Grafana and Sensu
    • Compression and Costs
      • gzip support for websockets to save costs
    • Auto-Scaling
      • Load balancing using least load and Herald
      • Herald is an internal system which does feedback load balancing
    • Conclusion
      • Long running connections poses different scaling challanges
      • Look for performance impacting metrics instead of number of connection when scaling and load balancing
      • Auditing and debugging is difficult for ephemeral data but it is important for quality of product
      • Get the protocol right so adding new capability becomes simple
