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 🙏

An even simpler library for locking with ZooKeeper based on node-zookeeper-client

What's so special about this zookeeper locking library?

This locking library is based on the ZooKeeper lock recipe with one key difference: the lock nodes it creates are ephemeral.

The ZK lock recipe recommends negotiating for the lock under the requested lock node with child nodes like _locknode_/guid-lock-<sequence number>. However, ephemeral nodes may not have children, and non-ephemeral state reduces zookeeper's partition resilience. The operators of applications with a large number of unique locks, especially a monotonically increasing number of locks (as when locking on a unique timestamp), will suffer zookeeper issues in production. zk-ultralight is meant to provide locking with less production impact.

Usage

function somethingAsyncHappens(callback) {
  var cxn = zkultra.getCxn(settings.ZOOKEEPER_URLS);
  async.series([
    cxn.lock.bind(cxn, '/some/lock/i/need', process.title +'-'+ process.pid),
    someAsyncAction,
    cxn.unlock.bind(cxn, '/some/lock/i/need')
  ], callback);
};

bin/

bin/non-ephemerals.js prints a JSON array of the non-ephemeral nodes (which have a mtime less than --since milliseconds in the past) in your zookeeper cluster to stdout. You can run it in the vm after running the test suite to see the non-ephemerals left after the tests:

$ bin/non-ephemerals.js /
[
  "/plum",
  "/dog",
  "/foo/bar",
  "/plumber",
  "/111",
  "/apple",
  "/cat"
]

Default for --since is two weeks, so this example shows only znodes with mtimes in the last two weeks.

bin/rm-znodes.js accepts a JSON array of znodes on stdin and removes them from your zookeeper cluster. The usual usage will be bin/non-ephemerals.js / | bin/rm-znodes.js to remove all not-recently-used non-ephemeral nodes without children. Sequential runs will eventually remove all znode subtrees which do not contain ephemeral nodes.

Development

The Vagrantfile ships a vm with a running zookeeper instance, which is all you need to run tests.

Tests

npm test

Optionally, the zookeeper server and port can be given with:

ZK=$(docker-machine ip zk):2181 npm run test

Lint

npm run-script lint

Coverage

npm run-script coverage
