Microservices with NetflixOSS: Karyon and Services part 3

This is the next post on the services of bulding a microservice with the netflix stack . If you did not read the previous posts i recommend you do:

* Microservices with NetflixOSS: Building and Running Eureka part 2 - http://diego-pacheco.blogspot.com/2015/09/microservices-with-netflixoss-building.html



It`s time to build a simple REST service using Karyon. Karyon will self-register as an Eureka client and we will do this using java annotations. To do this task we will create 8 classes. Lets see what are  the responsibility of each class.

The Classes 

* AuthenticationService -> Just a contract to perform authentication on the services.
* AuthenticationServiceImpl -> Authentication implementation it just check for a header and if not present dont let the call pass tought the service.
* AuthInterceptor -> Karyon Interceptor to glue the authentication implementation with the server requests
* HealthcheckResource -> Is the implementation of the Health Checker - Eureka call is to know if the service still up and running fine - if it fails eureka will unregistered the instance.
* LoggingInterceptor -> Another interceptor just to log whats going on.
* KaryonJerseyServerApp -> Where you configure your microservice.
* MainRunner -> A simple class to run the application.
* WeatherResource -> REST contract and implementation of a Weather Service - The actual Service :-)

WeatherResource 

As you can see is very straight forward - i`m just calling open weather api with your location. This call is blocking and could hang to fix this problem we should use Ribbon and Hystrix witch will be covered in future posts.



KaryonJerseyServerApp (App Configs)



Here is wehere you configure everything. We use annotations todo the job. @ArchaiusBootstrap bootup archaius for us, @KaryonBootstrap we provie the name of the service(this will be used to register into eureka) and what is the heath checker class.

There are other modules like: KaryonEurekaModule to make the app register into eureka automatically and KaryonServoModule to have metrics and KaryonWebAdminModule to have a web admin module exposed.

We need add some property files to configure the APP and make IT able to find eureka - so lets start with the REST config first.

weather-service.properties


Now we need add some configs so Karyon can find eureka.

eureka-client.properties
Them you can run the app running the main runner class. You will see some logging like this.



IF you goto eureka: http://localhost:8080/eureka/v2/apps you will see the weather-service is registered there. This could take some time like 30 seconds.



Now you can open your browser and call the service: http://localhost:6002/weather/now/Sunnyvale


You also can check the web admin if you go: http://localhost:8077/admin/



Servo JMX metrics are also available: http://localhost:8077/admin/#view=jmx&


The FULL code you can get into my github here: https://github.com/diegopacheco/netflixoss-pocs/tree/master/karyon-server-eureka-client

C Unit Testing with Check

Image
When I start on IT, several years ago(+15), C was the first language that I learned. But was not the first language I mastered and deployed in production which was...surprisingly Visual Basic 6.0. However, when I learned C or any language back on that old and arcane time noddy was into testing. However now is impossible to work professionally in any language without tests. C is a low-level language but still kicks ass and has several interesting libs/frameworks. People use to fear C a lot because of lack of syntactical sugar but once you get used to it is not that hard at all. Today I want to show how you can do Unit Testing with C. I will not show how to do Unit Testing with C++ but with C ANSI actually. We will be using Check a unit test lib for C ANSI.

Having fun with Zig Language

Image
Zig is a general-purpose language created in 2016 by Andrew Kelly .  Zig aims to fix the issues C language has while being pragmatic and simple at the same time. Zig really shines as being simple by not having any hidden control flows, not having hidden memory allocations, no pre-processors, and no macros. Basically, it's one language and one language only. Since pre-processors and macros can get really complex and become their own universe. Sure it's not the Zig Philosophy.  Zig Compiler(Zig cc) also is a C compiler, and the interoperability from C to Zig is very good. Clearly, we can see influence from other languages like Go and Rust; however, Zig is pretty unique and different from Go and Rust.  Zig is fast. Zig is perfect for system programming. I bet we will see a lot of solutions being built in Zig. As a languages aficionado, I like to learn at least one language per year and sometimes more; Zig was my 2021 pick, did not regret it. Even if you dont use all languages in p

HMAC in Java

Image
In 2018 AWS CTO(Vogels) said : "Security is everyone's job". For the last 2 years, there was so many famous and big data leaks and breaks that made that statement be very true more than ever. Security often could mean worst performance and worst user experience so in order to get it right you really need to think about the designs before jumping into to code and consider performance and user experience has main requirements.  I was thinking about writing about how to do HMAC in Java for a while and recently Redis 6.0.0 come out and to my surprise, there was a refactoring on the password part in order to use HMAC.  Security easily could scare engineers often because it is not something well spread yet but I believe this will change soon. It does not matter if you have to deal with PII Data or not, security is super relevant because everybody is running their workloads at the cloud or with IoT and Edge devices which means more distribution, more code, more points of fail
