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 🙏

Readme

stellar-halting-analysis

Analyze a transitive quorum to find halting weaknesses. Runs through all the nodes and checks for any combination of N failures which can cause your node to halt. This is a more thorough version of the stellar-core /info endpoint's fail-at property, since the built-in version doesn't handle propagation of failures.

The algorithm will return an array of HaltingFailures, which have arrays of vulnerableNodes (the nodes which can go down and take our network with it) and affectedNodes (the nodes which get taken down along the way.

usage

import { haltingAnalysis, NetworkGraphNode } from "@stellar/halting-analysis"

const nodes : NetworkGraphNode[] = await getJSON("http://stellar-core-host:11626/quorum?transitive=true&fullnodes=true"

// Search for any single node which could cause our network to halt if it goes down
const failures : HaltingFailure[] = haltingAnalysis(nodes, 1)

// Search for any combination of up to 3 nodes which could cause our node to halt if they all failed
const failures = haltingAnalysis(nodes, 3)

type definitions

// Represents a failure case where a set of N nodes can take down your network
type HaltingFailure = {
  // The nodes which can go down and cause havoc
  vulnerableNodes: NetworkGraphNode[];
  // The nodes which will go down in response to the vulnerable nodes
  affectedNodes: NetworkGraphNode[];
};

// A QuorumSetGroup can be either a grouping of validators as a single
// quorum set, or a group of inner quorum sets
export type QuorumSet = {
  // Threshold, the number of validators that need to agree
  readonly t: number;
  // List of validators or subquorum sets
  readonly v: (string | QuorumSet)[];
};

export type NetworkGraphNode = {
  // How far that node is from the root node (ie. how many quorum set hops)
  // 0 means this is the node being administrated
  readonly distance: number;
  // The latest ledger sequence number that this node voted at
  readonly heard?: number;
  // The identity of the validator
  readonly node: string;
  // Quorum set.  Missing or unknown nodes will be undefined.
  readonly qset?: QuorumSet;
  // one of behind|tracking|ahead (compared to the root node) or missing|unknown (when there are no recent SCP messages for that node)
  readonly status: "behind" | "tracking" | "ahead" | "missing" | "unknown";
  // what the node is voting for
  readonly value?: string;
  // a unique ID for what the node is voting for (allows to quickly tell if nodes are voting for the same thing)
  readonly value_id?: number;
