RedisConf17 - Dynomite - Making Non-distributed Databases Distributed
Download as pptx, pdf6 likes1,148 views
Dynomite is a framework that makes non-distributed databases distributed by adding a proxy layer, auto-sharding, replication across datacenters, and more. It is used at Netflix to power various services by sitting on top of Redis and providing high availability, scalability, and tunable consistency. Conductor is a workflow orchestration engine used by Netflix that stores workflow definitions and state in Dynomite to allow reusable and controllable workflow processes.

- 8. Replication ● A client can connect to any node on the Dynomite cluster when sending requests. o If node owns the data, ▪ data are written in local data-store and asynchronously replicated. o If node does not own the data ▪ node acts as a coordinator and sends the data in the same rack & replicates to other nodes in other racks and DC.

Editor's Notes
- #3: By a show of hands, how many people have seen this? Great. we have 60-90 seconds before you ditch us and do something else. Obviously the choice of content plays a big role, but just as important is a seamless user experience. Netflix has both. Our job is to deliver that to the members and keep them happy and streaming. The use cases for data caching range from session storage, managing viewing history, tracking bookmarks, managing playlist, ratings, and personalized recommendations to name a few.
- #5: Our business use case is to stream movies at any cost. Hence we moved from the SQL to Cassandra in order to have high availability. We are very sensitive to 99th latencies, Cassandra Started Migrating to NoSQL Quickly Became the Defacto standard for data storage Scaled out Cassandra to reduce data per node and reduce latency Definitely Not economical. Needed something in memory to meet the throughput and latency Needed: Typical deployment is in 3 data centers and 3 availability zones in each Redis: Kong exercises: Monkey, Gorilla and Kong
- #6: Two types of use cases : As a Cache and As a datastore
- #7: Use Master branch of github since that is the stable one and thats what we run in production
- #9: Fix errors in arrows - Minh has source :) and rack names
- #10: All nodes know the topology in the system
- #20: Dynomite customer base was growing rapidly and introducing new users to Redis Dynomite supports most native Redis commands Users new to Redis might not follow best practices and perform KEYS *. Scalable UI mandatory. Storing session data is a common use case. Within the Netflix Cloud Engineering organization we have many projects where we try to share Web Components.
- #21: The UI leverages Polymer to build reusable Web Components that can be shared among other Netflix projects. The Server is a Node.js Express app Supports pluggable discovery modules Netflix Discovery Local Redis environment File system based configuration Supports pluggable Authentication using Passport. Netflix uses Meechum for authentication. Can be extended for other passport-based auth like facebook Supports pluggable ACL modules Currently integrates with other Netflix services to get access control information for all Dynomite clusters Currently supports the Redis/Dynomite API
- #22: The list of visible clusters is restricted by user group membership
- #25: Hashes are great for representing objects Commands for manipulating hashes: HMSET, HSET, HGET, HGETALL
- #26: As we mentioned, session storage is a common use case for Dynomite. Using Redis’ TTL provides a convenient way to expire data.
- #27: App is deployed in multiple regions and multiple availability zones for resiliency Wanted to consolidate logging across all app instances to provide an audit trail FileBeat runs on each instance and ships logs to an ElasticSearch cluster which allows us to create a variety of dashboards using Kibana.
