Small and Fast
|
||
|
|
==============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We're targetting very tiny systems, so we have to
|
||
|
|
be really small and really fast.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We want to get from 0 to a listening socket as quickly
|
||
|
|
as possible, so we have this little folder of boot
|
||
|
|
code that uses no external modules and as few internal
|
||
|
|
modules as reasonably possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* fs.readFileSync is fast (< 1ms)
|
||
|
|
* v8's parser is pretty fast
|
||
|
|
* v8's fast compiler is slow
|
||
|
|
* v8's optimizer happens just-in-time
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Master
|
||
|
|
======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Master has a few jobs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* spin up the reverse proxy (caddy in this case)
|
||
|
|
* spin up the workers (as many as CPU cores)
|
||
|
|
* manage shared key/value store
|
||
|
|
* manage shared sqlite3
|
||
|
|
* perform one-off processes once boot is complete
|
||
|
|
* SIGUSR1 (normally SIGHUP) to caddy
|
||
|
|
* watch and update ip address
|
||
|
|
* watch and update router unpn / pmp-nat
|
||
|
|
* watch and update Reverse VPN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Worker
|
||
|
|
======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Workers are the ones that master spins up to do the hard
|
||
|
|
core stuff. They run the apis of the apps.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Low Mem
|
||
|
|
=======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We need to profile very low memory devices and see if
|
||
|
|
it is better to have just one process, or if master and
|
||
|
|
worker is still okay over time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The working suspision is that by occasionally starting
|
||
|
|
up a new worker and killing the old one when memory usage
|
||
|
|
starts to rise should fair pretty well and keeping
|
||
|
|
the system stable.
