Ingestion Edge Server

A simple service for delivering HTTP messages to Google Cloud PubSub

Building

Install and update dependencies as-needed

# docker-compose
docker-compose build

# pytest
bin/build

Running

Use docker-compose to run a local development server that auto-detects changes:

# run the web server and PubSub emulator
docker-compose up --detach web

# manually check the server
curl http://localhost:8000/__version__
curl http://localhost:8000/__heartbeat__
curl http://localhost:8000/__lbheartbeat__
curl http://localhost:8000/submit/test -d "test"

# check web logs
docker-compose logs web

# clean up docker-compose environment
docker-compose down --timeout 0

Configuration

The ingestion-edge docker container accepts these configuration options from environment variables:

• ROUTE_TABLE: a JSON list of mappings from uri to PubSub topic, uri matches are detected in order, defaults to [], each mapping is a list and may include an optional third element that specifies a list of allowed methods instead of the default ["POST","PUT"]
• QUEUE_PATH: a filesystem path to a directory where a SQLite database will be created to store requests for when PubSub is unavailable, paths may be relative to the docker container WORKDIR, defaults to queue
• MINIMUM_DISK_FREE_BYTES: an integer indicating the threshold of free bytes on the filesystem where QUEUE_PATH is mounted below which /__heartbeat__ will fail, defaults to 0 which disables the check
• METADATA_HEADERS: a JSON list of headers to preserve as PubSub message attributes, defaults to ["Content-Length", "Date", "DNT", "User-Agent", "X-Forwarded-For", "X-Pingsender-Version", "X-Pipeline-Proxy", "X-Debug-ID"]; the message attribute name will be the header name in lowercase and with - converted to _
• PUBLISH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS: a float indicating the maximum number of seconds to wait for the PubSub client to complete a publish operation, defaults to 1 second and may require tuning
• FLUSH_CONCURRENT_MESSAGES: an integer indicating the number of messages per worker that may be read from the queue before waiting on publish results, defaults to 1000 messages based on publish request limits and may require tuning
• FLUSH_CONCURRENT_BYTES: an integer indicating the number of bytes per worker that may be read from the queue before waiting on publish results, which may be exceeded by one message and measures data bytes rather than serialized message size, defaults to 10MB based on publish request limits and may require tuning
• FLUSH_SLEEP_SECONDS: a float indicating the number of seconds waited between flush attempts, defaults to 1 second and may require tuning

Testing

Run tests with CircleCI Local CLI, docker-compose, or pytest wrappers

# circleci
(cd .. && circleci build --job ingestion-edge)

# docker-compose
docker-compose run --rm test

# pytest wrapper (pytest-all calls lint and pytest)
./bin/pytest-all

The pytest wrappers add these options via the environment:

• CLEAN_RELOCATES controls whether bin/lint and bin/pytest will remove .pyc files not in venv/ that do not contain $PWD to prevent errors when switching between running in and out of docker, defaults to true
• VENV controls whether to use a python venv in venv/$(uname) in bin/lint and bin/pytest, and in bin/build to create and use that venv, defaults to false in Dockerfile and true otherwise

Style Checks

Run style checks

# docker-compose
docker-compose run --rm test bin/lint

# pytest wrapper
./bin/lint

Unit Tests

Run unit tests

# docker-compose
docker-compose run --rm test bin/pytest tests/unit

# pytest wrapper
./bin/pytest tests/unit

Integration Tests

Run integration tests locally

# docker-compose
docker-compose run --rm test bin/pytest tests/integration

# pytest wrapper
./bin/pytest tests/integration

Test a remote server (requires credentials to read PubSub)

# define the same ROUTE_TABLE as your edge server
export ROUTE_TABLE='[["/submit/telemetry/<suffix:path>","projects/PROJECT/topics/TOPIC"]]'

# docker using latest image and no git checkout
docker run --rm --tty --interactive --env ROUTE_TABLE mozilla/ingestion-edge:latest bin/pytest tests/integration --server https://myedgeserver.example.com

# docker-compose
docker-compose run --rm -e ROUTE_TABLE test bin/pytest tests/integration --server https://myedgeserver.example.com

# pytest wrapper
./bin/pytest tests/integration --server https://myedgeserver.example.com

Load Tests

Run a load test (defaults to a single GKE cluster and a PubSub emulator)

# docker using latest image and no git checkout
docker run --rm --tty --interactive mozilla/ingestion-edge:latest bin/pytest tests/load

# docker-compose
docker-compose run --rm test bin/pytest tests/load

# pytest
./bin/pytest tests/load
