Swoole’s common practical experience in developing high-availability data synchronization services

With the continuous development of Internet technology, real-time synchronization of data has become a necessary requirement for the production environment of many enterprises. To meet this need, there are many data synchronization solutions currently on the market, such as Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ, etc. However, in actual applications, we still often encounter problems such as delays and losses in data synchronization. In order to solve these problems, a highly available and high-performance data synchronization service is particularly important.

Swoole is a PHP coroutine network communication engine. It is based on an extension of PHP to achieve efficient asynchronous and coroutine network programming. Because of its high performance and low latency, it is widely used in scenarios such as web servers, game servers, and message queues. This article will introduce how to use Swoole to develop a highly available data synchronization service, and share some common practical experiences.

1. Use Swoole to implement data synchronization service

Swoole provides support for TCP, UDP, WebSocket and other protocols, which can easily send and receive data. The following is a simple TCP server example:

$server = new SwooleServer('0.0.0.0', 9501);
$server->on('connect', function (SwooleServer $server, $fd) {
    echo "Client {$fd} connected
";
});
$server->on('receive', function (SwooleServer $server, $fd, $reactor_id, $data) {
    echo "Received data from client {$fd}: {$data}
";
    $server->send($fd, "Server received data: {$data}");
});
$server->on('close', function (SwooleServer $server, $fd) {
    echo "Client {$fd} closed
";
});
$server->start();

In the above code, we created a TCP server listening on the local 9501 port. When the client connects successfully, the connection information will be printed. When the client sends a message, the server prints out the received message and replies with a message. When the client closes the connection, the corresponding information will also be printed.

In the actual data synchronization service, we can write the received data into a message queue such as Redis or Kafka, so that asynchronous processing of data can be achieved. The following is an example of writing received data to Redis:

$server = new SwooleServer('0.0.0.0', 9501);
$redis = new Redis();
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
$server->on('receive', function (SwooleServer $server, $fd, $reactor_id, $data) use ($redis) {
    $redis->rpush('data_queue', $data);
});
$server->start();

In the above code, we pass the Redis object as a closure parameter into the onReceive event callback function. When data is retrieved, the data will be written to the Redis queue.

2. Ensure the high availability of data synchronization service

After realizing high-performance data synchronization service, how to ensure its high availability has become a very important issue. The following introduces some common practical experiences to ensure the high availability of data synchronization services.

1. Using a load balancer

Using a load balancer is a common way to ensure high availability of data synchronization services. Deploying multiple data synchronization services on different nodes and using load balancers for traffic distribution can achieve high availability of services and avoid single points of failure. Common load balancers include NGINX, HAProxy, etc.

2. Use active-standby mode

In active-standby mode, the data synchronization service is deployed on two nodes, one of which is the master node and the other is the backup node. . The master node is responsible for the actual data synchronization work, and the backup node is responsible for backing up and monitoring the master node. When the primary node fails, the backup node takes over to ensure that services are not interrupted. We can use the Swoole-Cluster extension to implement active-standby mode. Swoole-Cluster is an extensible PHP cluster toolkit that supports multi-process, multi-server load balancing and other functions.

3. Realize data backup and recovery

In data synchronization services, the accuracy and integrity of data are crucial. Therefore, data backup and recovery issues need to be considered during design. Important data in the data synchronization service can be regularly backed up to other storage media (such as MySQL, MongoDB, etc.). When a service fails, it can be restored by backing up data. At the same time, you can also use tools such as Redis Sentinel to perform automatic failover of services to easily achieve high availability of services.

3. Conclusion

Swoole provides high-performance, low-latency coroutine network programming capabilities, which is very suitable for implementing high-availability data synchronization services. In actual applications, it is necessary to combine load balancing, active-standby mode, data backup and other technical means to ensure the high availability of services. Through the introduction of this article, I believe readers can better understand how to use Swoole to implement high-availability data synchronization services and master some common practical experiences.
