Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Zipkin Client Filter

One of the problems that arise in microservice architectures is tracing the life of a request. Where do errors occur? Where are latencies? Just understanding all of the services a request touches can be non-trivial in complex systems.

This filter for @creditkarma/thrift-client helps to solve this problem by adding support for distributed tracing with Zipkin.

Installation

ZipkinClientFilter has a few peerDependencies.

npm install --save @creditkarma/thrift-server-core
npm install --save @creditkarma/thrift-client
npm install --save @creditkarma/thrift-zipkin-core
npm install --save @creditkarma/zipkin-client-filter

Usage

Zipkin tracing is added to your Thrift client through filters.

import {
    createHttpClient,
} from '@creditkaram/thrift-client'

import {
    ZipkinClientFilter,
} from '@creditkarma/zipkin-client-filter'

import { Calculator } from './codegen/calculator'

const thriftClient: Calculator.Client<ThriftContext<CoreOptions>> =
    createHttpClient(Calculator.Client, {
        hostName: 'localhost',
        port: 8080,
        register: [ ZipkinClientFilter({
            localServiceName: 'calculator-client',
            remoteServiceName: 'calculator-service',
            tracerConfig: {
                endpoint: 'http://localhost:9411/api/v1/spans',
                sampleRate: 0.1,
            }
        }) ]
    })

In order for tracing to be useful the services you are communicating with will also need to be setup with Zipkin tracing. Plugins are available for thrift-server-hapi and thrift-server-express. The provided plugins in Thrift Server only support HTTP transport at the moment.

Options

  • localServiceName (required): The name of your service.
  • remoteServiceName (optional): The name of the service you are calling.
  • tracerConfig.debug (optional): In debug mode all requests are sampled.
  • tracerConfig.endpoint (optional): URL of your collector (where to send traces).
  • tracerConfig.sampleRate (optional): Percentage (from 0 to 1) of requests to sample. Defaults to 0.1.
  • tracerConfig.httpInterval (optional): Sampling data is batched to reduce network load. This is the rate (in milliseconds) at which to empty the sample queue. Defaults to 1000.

If the endpoint is set then the plugin will send sampling data to the given endpoint over HTTP. If the endpoint is not set then sampling data will just be logged to the console.

Tracing Non-Thrift Endpoints

Sometimes, as part of completing your service request, you may need to gather data from both Thrift and non-Thrift endpoints. To get a complete picture you need to trace all of these calls. You can add Zipkin to other requests with instrumentation provided by the OpenZipkin project.

When constructing instrumentation provided by another library you need to use the same Tracer in order to maintain the correct trace context. You can import this shared Tracer through a call to getTracerForService. This assumes a Tracer has already been created for your service by usage of one of the Thrift Zipkin plugins.

import { getTracerForService } from '@creditkarma/thrift-server-core'
import * as wrapRequest from 'zipkin-instrumentation-request'
import * as request from 'request'

const tracer = getTracerForService('calculator-client')
const zipkinRequest = wrapRequest(request, { tracer, remoteServiceName: 'calculator-service' })
zipkinRequest.get(url, (err, resp, body) => {
    // Do something
})
