海外TECH	DEV Community	Label automation at your fingertips	https://dev.to/doka-guide/label-automation-at-your-fingertips-33k3	Label automation at your fingertipsDoka is a Russian web developer s newest open source handbook We are new so we had to create our workflow from scratch We are demanding labels users and we can hook you up too ProblemWhen a project has a sophisticated multi stage review process the workflow quickly goes out of hand pull requests get lost and the review time grows leading to unhappy contributors For example In Doka s case we have four sections of our website each with a dedicated editor HMTL CSS JS and tools On top of that there is a responsible for demos an illustrator and a publishing editor We wanted to have one place where they can go to understand what job is pending In most of the repos you probably want to know the scope a particular PR has what parts of the project it touches whether it removes or edits files you don t want to be touched OptionsWhat are the options Github gives us There are not many codeowners and labels CodeownersAssignee and reviewers are similar Somebody assigns a person responsible for the PR and you can filter the list by your name Reviewers can even be automated using a CODEOWNERS file at the root of the project Code owners are defined based on files and have to get approval from the owner The significant advantage of that approach is that the reviewer gets notifications about the PR However the more code you have the more complicated the file becomes It also bloats the notification panel because you automatically watch every PR you were assigned to LabelsLabels are a non restrictive approach to marking PRs and they do not require anything from your side to provide insights about the PR content We found they are a great companion of code owners when cooked well The label scoped pull requests and issues have a unique filter URL which a person can bookmark and see only their scope of work However you need to be careful to not create too many making them impossible to grasp and use by contributors The standard approach is to label PRs by task type bug feature question etc and by complexity internal good first issue We decided to add more essential labels scope module section component type work needed design review editor check or demo creation restricted files touched ーe g removed package lock json add your project specific labels we also add a label that reflects the tag key from markdown files frontmatter SolutionWe took the best from both worlds and followed the approach we found extremely useful Define code owners for parts that are critical no less than two people per section Provide additional information automatically through labels We couldn t find the best automatic labeler so we wrote it ourselves With it you can automate both sides of the equation It has built in core modules label PR based on file paths in a PR and their status added removed renamed modified assignee front matter

海外TECH	DEV Community	How I Fixed A Memory Leak In Expose.sh, My NodeJS App	https://dev.to/robbiecahill/how-i-fixed-a-memory-leak-in-my-nodejs-app-b31	How I Fixed A Memory Leak In Expose sh My NodeJS App IntroductionIf you run Node in production sooner or later you ll come across a common bug known as a memory leak This was the case with my current side project expose I wrote a popular article Six Ways To Drastically Boost Your Productivity As A Node Developer which mentioned it then suddenly the server was overloaded During the period of high load I could see that a memory leak was forming What is expose expose is a command line app that makes its simple to give a public URL to any web based app you have running locally on your machine So if you have a local API runnig at http localhost and you then run expose it will generate a public URL that you can then share It works by creating a websocket connection between the client and the expose service which listens with websocket http and https When requests come in to the public URL they are routed through the websocket connection to the client and then the client hits your server locally This has various uses like demoing early work without needing to deploy code anywhere and debugging webhook integrations You can install it for Linux Mac and Windows here The leakIn the expose server I have a Singleton class called Proxy which is in TypeScript the superset of JavaScript with type safety This class manages all client connections to the expose service Anytime you run expose to get a public url for your project running on localhost a Websocket connection is created between the client and the service Those connections are stored in Proxy connections This is a trimmed down version of the Proxy class The real version has extra logic such as finder methods to help route requests to the right client websocket so that you see your site not someone elses when you hit the public URL import Connection from connection import HostipWebSocket from websocket host ip websocket export default class Proxy private static instance Proxy connections Array lt Connection gt addConnection hostname string websocket HostipWebSocket clientId string void const connection Connection hostname clientId websocket this connections push connection More methods to find the right connections avoid duplicates etc listConnections return this connections public static getInstance Proxy if Proxy instance Proxy instance new Proxy return Proxy instance Every time a client connects addConnection is called The problem here is that when they disconnect the Websocket connection stays alive and their entry in Proxy connections stays there So as more clients connect the Proxy connections array gets bigger and bigger This is a classic memory leak Before the article this wasn t such an issue as few people were connecting to and using the service After the article the server had to deal with more connections then ran out of memory I ended up upgrading the instance to a bigger one which handled the load even with the memory leak Fixing the leakOnce the problem was apparent I went about fixing the leak In addConnection I started tagging websocket connections with the client id of the connecting client addConnection hostname string websocket HostipWebSocket clientId string void Tag the connection so it can be found and destroyed later when the client disconnects websocket exposeShClientId clientId const connection Connection hostname clientId websocket this connections push connection I also added a deleteConnection method to the Proxy class to handle the actual deletion of connections so they could then be cleaned up by the garbage collector deleteConnection clientId string for let i i lt this connections length i const connection this connections i if connection clientId clientId this connections splice i I then added a hook on the websocket connections so that when they close their associated Connection is deleted websocket on close code number reason string gt websocket terminate const proxy Proxy getInstance proxy deleteConnection websocket exposeShClientId Once this was done connections in Proxy connections were cleaned up as clients disconnected No more endlessly growing array and no more memory leak ConclusionMemory leaks are common in Node as servers often run as a single process Anything left over from each connection that grows will cause a memory leak So keep an eye out for them next time you see your instance running out of memory Tip If you want to basically almost eliminate memory leaks consider trying out PHP my other favorite language Each request is a separate process so it is basically stateless It wouldn t work for expose because the server needs to maintain state with the connections To introduce a memory leak into a PHP application would take alot of effort not just a bug in the code but also very bad misconfiguration This is one of the better parts of PHP as you are protected from these kinds of bugs	2021-12-08 21:34:13
海外TECH	DEV Community	Introduction to the Twelve-Factor App Part 2	https://dev.to/useanvil/introduction-to-the-twelve-factor-app-part-2-icm	Introduction to the Twelve Factor App Part Factor App Blog Post Part Summary Make your toy web apps more robust and manageable by following the Twelve Factor App methodology This is the second part in a series of posts detailing the Factor App In the last post we looked at Your codebase and made it deployable across different environmentsDependencies and why they re important in reproducibilityConfiguration files and how to make them useful across different environmentsBacking services what they are and how decoupling gives your app more flexibilityIf you need a refresher or aren t familiar with the above already take a look at the last post Many of the earlier concepts are used as building blocks for the concepts in this post V Build release runStrictly separate build and run stages Many of the previous sections finally start coming together here This may be one of the more time consuming sections or steps but also the one that will improve your development and release cycles tremendously These steps are also what people usually refer to as Continuous Integration Continuous Deployment or CI CD Let s step through from the start Build In the build step the goal is to get all code and assets into a usable state at the run step The end product can differ depending on whether you re building for development or for production In a development environment for example we could skip optimizations such as compressing files and compiling frontend assets HTML CSS JS into bundles that would normally live in a CDN In general the build step can look like the following Pin your release on a specific commit or tag if using git Factor I This keeps everything at a known starting point Start compiling your code This depends on the codebase but in general this would be Gather all the app s dependencies Factor II via npm PyPI git clones etc Compile code where needed This could mean using a bundler like webpack or compiling binaries and libraries like Java jar files Log all build processes running Build process should have a mechanism to keep track of attempted builds whether or not they were successful If any of the above fails to complete stop the entire build release run process and send notifications or some sort of message to the developer about the failure Release In the release step the main product of the release step is to have your compiled and built code ready to run publish or use for the end user in some way The release process can look like the following Apply config specific to this build s environment Factor III For example a development environment can point to a database running on a cheap server instance while a production version would point to a much more robust version on Amazon RDS with backups enabled Run your tests This would include unit integration and end to end tests These tests would run against the compiled build and with the proper config applied If any tests fail we could immediately cancel any further actions and send out notifications messages about the failure Any other preparations you need before getting to the run phase If using Docker this is when you would create an image of all the parts of your application that you want deployed This image is a snapshot of the application code where you know all tests have passed and the build process ran successfully Run At this point all the previous steps should have given us high confidence that your application will work as expected We ve compiled and prepared all code and assets ensuring that the application is set up correctly and does not have any build time problems We ve tested the application itself with run time tests and maybe even end to end tests Now all we have to do is just deploy the thing The Run step should be fairly straightforward We ll be assuming you re using Docker or some other containerization tool Upload your Docker image s from the release step to your code s final running destination Run your application Notify message any other external services that your application is up and running If scaling to multiple instances there are infrastructure considerations that need to be made You would need a load balancer like nginx or HAProxy Some cloud services also handle this automatically like Amazon ECS so double check with your provider docs as well At the higher end of complexity much of this can also be handled with Kubernetes but that in itself would require more than a few blog posts to introduce The build release run workflow is very well supported on platforms like GitHub and GitLab with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI CD respectively You can also customize your own build process with tools like Jenkins and CircleCI When using those services the build and release steps are covered but the run step will require a container hosting service such as Amazon ECS There are also services that encompass all the steps such as Heroku which developed this Factor methodology At this point we actually have a running app We could stop here but we have millions of users to take care of and the application needs to scale easily VI ProcessesExecute the app as one or more stateless processesThis section is mainly how to think about your application processes in the context of scaling At its simplest case we can think of a single purpose application that resizes images This application would get image data resize it and finally upload it to a cloud storage service like Amazon S For this application we have no shared state from other processes We can even imagine s or s of instances of these running independently in parallel They all don t require any additional context data nor do they need to share data They only need an input image data and they return an output successful upload to S What s the key aspect to processes Processes are statelessThat is they don t expect data in memory or on disk will exist permanently The easiest way to think about this is to ask If the app were to be completely torn down and redeployed from a Docker image would it be a catastrophic failure In a twelve factor app all the states that we need to persist database cloud storage session data etc are saved in backing services Factor IV that our app uses These backing services are defined in our app s config Factor III which has been applied in the release step of our build release run process Factor V The app itself should be highly recoverable if it goes down and at the opposite end the app should easily scale up to more instances This architecture will play a key role in a few of the next sections To be continuedThis post covered sections V VI of the Twelve Factor App methodology Hopefully this has shown the interconnectedness of all the factors and how smaller efforts in your application architecture can build up to something that can scale and have more resilience Here at Anvil we follow many of these concepts in our development process and we believe that sharing our experiences helps everyone create awesome products If you re developing something cool with PDFs or paperwork automation let us know at developers useanvil com We d love to hear from you	2021-12-08 21:14:25
