goInterLock
known as: ⏰ Interval (Cron / Job / Task / Scheduler) ⏱️
GoInterval job timer, with centralize Lock
goInterLock
is schedule tasks (cron-job) with a centralized locking mechanism for Go (AKA Golang). In the distributed systems, the lock prevents the tasks to been executed in every instant that has the scheduler.
For example, if your application has a scheduled where it's calling some external API or doing some expensive DataBase querying every 10 minutes, the lock prevents the process to be run in every instance of that application, and you ended up running that task multiple times every 10 minutes.
Ideal use cases:
- Kubernetes
- Docker Swarm
- AWS ECS Fargate Quick Start
go get github.com/ehsaniara/gointerlock
Supported Lock
- Redis
- AWS DynamoDB
- Postgres DB (coming soon)
Local Scheduler (Single App)
(Interval every 2 seconds)
var job = gointerlock.GoInterval{
Interval: 2 * time.Second,
Arg: myJob,
}
err := job.Run(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error: %s", err)
}
Examples
Basic Local Task: Simple Task Interval (Single App).
Application Cache: An example of periodically cached value update on http server.
Distributed Mode (Scaled Up)
Redis
Existing Redis Connection
you should already configure your Redis connection and pass it into the GoInterLock
. Also make sure you are giving the
unique name per job
Step 1: configure redis connection redisConnection.Rdb
from the existing application and pass it into the Job. for example:
var redisConnector = redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
Addr: "localhost:6379",
Password: "myRedisPassword",
DB: 0,
})
Step 2: Pass the redis connection into the GoInterval
var job = gointerlock.GoInterval{
Interval: 2 * time.Second,
Arg: myJob,
Name: "MyTestJob",
RedisConnector: redisConnector,
}
err := jobTicker.Run(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error: %s", err)
}
in both examples myJob
is your function, for example:
func myJob() {
fmt.Println(time.Now(), " - called")
}
Note: currently GoInterLock
does not support any argument for the job function
Built in Redis Connector
another way is to use an existing redis connection:
var job = gointerlock.GoInterval{
Name: "MyTestJob",
Interval: 2 * time.Second,
Arg: myJob,
RedisHost: "localhost:6379",
RedisPassword: "myRedisPassword", //if no pass leave it as ""
}
err := job.Run(context.Background())
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error: %s", err)
}
GoInterLock is using go-redis for Redis Connection.
Examples
Basic Distributed Task: Simple Task Interval with Redis Lock.
AWS DynamoDb
Basic Config (Local Environment)
This ia sample of local DynamoDb (Docker) for your local test.
var job = gointerlock.GoInterval{
Name: "MyTestJob",
Interval: 2 * time.Second,
Arg: myJob,
LockVendor: gointerlock.AwsDynamoDbLock,
AwsDynamoDbRegion: "us-east-1",
AwsDynamoDbEndpoint: "http://127.0.0.1:8000",
AwsDynamoDbSecretAccessKey: "dummy",
AwsDynamoDbAccessKeyID: "dummy",
}
err := job.Run(cnx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error: %s", err)
}
task:
func myJob() {
fmt.Println(time.Now(), " - called")
}
Note: you can get the docker-compose file from AWS DynamoDB Docker compose or you can get it from: docker-compose.yml.
Using AWS Profile
goInterLock
will get credentials from the AWS profile
var job = gointerlock.GoInterval{
Name: "MyTestJob",
Interval: 2 * time.Second,
Arg: myJob,
LockVendor: gointerlock.AwsDynamoDbLock,
}
err := job.Run(cnx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error: %s", err)
}
Examples
Basic Distributed Task: Simple Task Interval with DynamoDb Lock.
🍀 Just the centralized lock for distributed system (No Timer/Scheduler)
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/go-redis/redis/v8"
)
type DistributedLock interface {
Lock(ctx context.Context, lockName string, maxLockingDuration time.Duration) bool
UnLock(ctx context.Context, lockName string)
}
func NewDistributedLock(rdb *redis.Client) DistributedLock {
return &distributedLock{
rdb: rdb,
}
}
type distributedLock struct {
rdb *redis.Client
}
// Lock return TRUE when successfully locked, return FALSE if it's already been locked by others
func (d distributedLock) Lock(ctx context.Context, lockName string, maxLockingDuration time.Duration) bool {
key := fmt.Sprintf("lock_%s", lockName)
//check if it's already locked
iter := d.rdb.Scan(ctx, 0, key, 0).Iterator()
for iter.Next(ctx) {
//exit if lock exist
return false
}
//then lock it then
d.rdb.Set(ctx, key, []byte("true"), maxLockingDuration)
return true
}
func (d distributedLock) UnLock(ctx context.Context, lockName string) {
key := fmt.Sprintf("lock_%s", lockName)
//remove the lock
d.rdb.Del(ctx, key)
}
