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 🙏

Safe Redis Leader

Goal

The Safe Redis Leader JS module is designed to provide a leader election implementation that provides tested gaurentees that there is only a single leader elected from a group of clients at one time.

The implementation is a port of the stale Redis Leader npm package that implements a solution to the known race condition. Additionally, this rewritten package:

  1. Removes the usage of .bind and this, as well as prototype inheritance (Without introducing classes in the main impl)
  2. Only exposes public api functions that should be exposed (no more public-but-should-be-private _elect fn)
  3. has a test suite within docker-compose using a real redis instance, which allows anyone to run the tests with no heavy dependency setup
  4. Has tests to assert the known race condition can no longer occur
  5. removes the need for new, by providing a simple createSafeRedisLeader(...) public fn
  6. Replace callback-hell with async/await

Usage

Install the package:

    npm install --save safe-redis-leader

in one terminal, run the follow index.js:

    const {createSafeRedisLeader} = require('safe-redis-leader')
    const Redis = require('ioredis')

    async function main(){

      const asyncRedis = new Redis({
        host: "locahost",
        port: 6379,
        password: "some-password"
      })


      const leaderElectionKey = 'the-election'

      const safeLeader = await createSafeRedisLeader({
        asyncRedis: asyncRedis,
        ttl: 1500,
        wait: 3000,
        key: leaderElectionKey
      })

      safeLeader.on("elected", ()=>{
        console.log("I'm the leader - 1")
      })

      await safeLeader.elect()
    }

  main().catch((e)=>{
    console.error(e)
    process.exit(1)
  })

In a seperate terminal/tab, run the following index.js:

    const {createSafeRedisLeader} = require('safe-redis-leader')
    const Redis = require('ioredis')

    async function main(){

      const asyncRedis = new Redis({
        host: "locahost",
        port: 6379,
        password: "some-password"
      })


      const leaderElectionKey = 'the-election'

      const safeLeader = await createSafeRedisLeader({
        asyncRedis: asyncRedis,
        ttl: 1500,
        wait: 3000,
        key: leaderElectionKey
      })

      safeLeader.on("elected", ()=>{
        console.log("I'm the leader - 2")
      })

      await safeLeader.elect()
    }

  main().catch((e)=>{
    console.error(e)
    process.exit(1)
  })
