写给开发者的软件架构实战：构建微服务

作者：禅与计算机程序设计艺术

背景介绍

1.1 传统单体应用的局限性

随着互联网的普及和移动互联网的发展，企业数字化转型日益成为企业的必然选择。而软件开发也从原先的支持业务转型到支持数字化转型，从此呈现出无法想象的爆发性增长。

传统的单体应用架构已经无法满足当今快速迭代和业务发展的需求。单体应用架构的缺点在于：

  • 耦合性高：多个功能模块紧密耦合在一起，修改一个模块可能会导致其他模块出错。
  • 扩展性差：添加新功能或横向扩展都需要停机维护，影响系统可用性。
  • 部署复杂：由于整个应用是一个完整的单元，因此部署也相当复杂，难以做到灰度发布和零停机升级。

1.2 微服务架构的优势

微服务架构（Microservices Architecture，MSA）是一种基于SOA的架构风格，它将单体应用分解成一组小型服务，每个服务运行在自己的进程中，并通过 lightweight protocols 相互通信。

微服务架构的优势在于：

  • 松耦合：每个服务之间相互独立，一个服务的变更不会影响其他服务。
  • 可伸缩：每个服务可以独立水平伸缩，适应流量变化。
  • 技术栈灵活：每个服务可以使用不同的编程语言和数据库。
  • 可靠性高：服务故障不会影响整个系统， facilitating fault isolation and faster recovery.

核心概念与联系

2.1 微服务架构的基本单元：服务

微服务架构的基本单元是服务（Service），它是一个独立的、可部署和可伸缩的软件单元，提供特定的业务能力。服务之间通过轻量级协议进行通信，如RESTful APIs、gRPC、Thrift等。

2.2 服务注册与发现

当服务数量较少时，直接hardcoding service addresses in client code is feasible。但是，当服务数量增加时，手动管理服务地址变得困难且低效。

为了解决这个问题，可以使用服务注册与发现（Service Registration and Discovery）来管理服务地址。服务注册与发现的工作流程如下：

  1. 服务启动：服务启动时，向服务注册中心注册自己的信息，包括 IP 地址、端口号和可用操作接口等。
  2. 服务查询：客户端需要调用某个服务时，首先向服务注册中心查询该服务的地址。
  3. 服务注销：当服务 shutdown 时，需要 deregister itself from the service registry center.

2.3 配置中心

当应用程序需要读取大量配置信息时，将所有配置信息 hardcoded in application code 会显得很low-level and error-prone。因此，可以将配置信息 abstracted into a separate configuration management system, known as the configuration center.

配置中心的主要职责是存储和管理应用程序的配置信息，包括数据库连接信息、API key、日志级别等。配置中心允许我们 centralize the management of configuration data and make it easily accessible to all applications and services.

2.4 负载均衡器

当服务被多个实例部署时，需要使用负载均衡器（Load Balancer）来分配 incoming requests to different instances。负载均衡器可以基于不同策略进行 load balancing，常见的策略包括 round robin、random selection、least connections、IP hash等。

2.5 API 网关

API 网关（API Gateway）是一种 specialized reverse proxy server that manages and routes API requests to appropriate backend services. API 网关具有以下优点：

  • 简化客户端：API 网关可以 simplify the client by providing a single entry point for multiple services.
  • 路由请求：API 网关可以 route requests to appropriate backend services based on request parameters, headers or URL paths.
  • API 聚合：API 网关可以 aggregating responses from multiple services into a single response.
  • 安全防护：API 网关可以 provide security features such as authentication, rate limiting and access control.

核心算法原理和具体操作步骤以及数学模型公式详细讲解

3.1 一致性哈希算法

一致性哈希算法（Consistent Hashing Algorithm）是一种分布式哈希算法，用于解决服务注册与发现中的 hash collision problem。

3.1.1 算法原理

一致性哈希算法将 servers and keys mapped onto a ring, where each server and key is assigned a unique position on the ring based on its hash value. When a new server joins or leaves the cluster, only a small portion of keys need to be remapped, minimizing the impact on the overall system.

3.1.2 算法步骤

  1. Hash function: Choose a hash function to convert server and key identifiers into hash values. A common choice is MD5 or SHA-1.
  2. Ring creation: Create a logical ring by sorting all possible hash values in ascending order.
  3. Server assignment: Assign each server a unique position on the ring by hashing its identifier.
  4. Key assignment: Assign each key a unique position on the ring by hashing its identifier.
  5. Request handling: When a request comes in, determine which server is responsible for handling the request by finding the first server that follows the key's position on the ring.

3.1.3 算法复杂度

The time complexity of consistent hashing algorithm is O(log N), where N is the number of servers in the cluster. The space complexity is O(N).

3.2 Raft 算法

Raft 算法（Raft Consensus Algorithm）是一种解决 distributed systems consensus problem 的算法。

3.2.1 算法原理

Raft 算法通过 dividing the consensus problem into three subproblems to achieve high availability and fault tolerance:

  • Leader election: When a follower node detects that the current leader is down, it initiates a leader election process. The node with the highest identifier becomes the new leader.
  • Log replication: Once a leader is elected, it starts replicating its log entries to all follower nodes. Each follower node maintains a copy of the log and applies the entries in the same order.
  • Safety: Raft ensures safety by requiring that all log entries are appended to the end of the log and never overwritten. This ensures that all nodes have a consistent view of the state machine.

3.2.2 算法步骤

  1. Node initialization: Initialize each node as either a leader, follower or candidate.
  2. Leader election: When a follower node detects that the current leader is down, it increments its current term and transitions to the candidate state. It then votes for itself and sends RequestVote RPCs to all other nodes.
  3. Log replication: Once a leader is elected, it starts sending AppendEntries RPCs to all followers to replicate its log entries.
  4. Safety: Ensure that all log entries are appended to the end of the log and never overwritten.

3.2.3 算法复杂度

The time complexity of Raft algorithm is O(log N), where N is the number of nodes in the cluster. The space complexity is O(N).

4.2 使用 Kong API Gateway 实现高可用和负载均衡

Kong API Gateway is an open-source API gateway and platform that provides advanced features such as authentication, rate limiting, and load balancing. We can use Kong to implement high availability and load balancing for our microservices architecture.

4.2.1 部署 Kong API Gateway

We can deploy Kong API Gateway using Docker Compose:

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  kong:
   image: kong:latest
   container_name: kong
   restart: always
   ports:
     - "8000:8000"
     - "8443:8443"
     - "8001:8001"
   volumes:
     - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
   environment:
     KONG_DATABASE: postgres
     KONG_PG_HOST: kong-database
     KONG_PG_PORT: 5432
     KONG_PG_USER: kong
     KONG_PG_PASSWORD: kong
     KONG_PROXY_ACCESS_LOG: /dev/stdout
     KONG_PROXY_ERROR_LOG: /dev/stderr
     KONG_ADMIN_ACCESS_LOG: /dev/stdout
     KONG_ADMIN_ERROR_LOG: /dev/stderr
  kong-database:
   image: postgres:latest
   container_name: kong-database
   restart: always
   environment:
     POSTGRES_USER: kong
     POSTGRES_DB: kong
     POSTGRES_PASSWORD: kong

4.2.2 创建 API

Once Kong is deployed, we can create an API using the Kong Admin API:

curl -i -X POST
--url http://localhost:8001/apis/
--data 'name=my-api'
--data 'upstreams=[{"url":"http://service1:5001"}]'
--data 'plugins[0][name]=rate-limiting'
--data 'plugins[0][config.limit]=10'
--data 'plugins[0][config.period]=60'

4.2.3 添加路由

After creating the API, we need to add a route to it:

curl -i -X POST
--url http://localhost:8001/routes/
--data 'paths[]=/'
--data 'service=name=my-api'

4.2.4 测试负载均衡

We can test the load balancing feature by sending multiple requests to the API:

for i in {1..10}; do curl -s localhost:8000 | grep -oE "Hello from Service.*"; done

The output should show a mix of responses from both Service1 and Service2.

实际应用场景
