01:38 SJr I'm looking at building a RESTful service following a microservices based architecture. I would like to gracefully degrade services in case of failures of persistence or certain nodes. I am kind of stuck between two approaches and would like to know if one of them is entirely bad or if it's just trade offs.
01:39 SJr The failures modes I see, is that I can have a failure in my persistence store (either outtage or slowness), or some subset of nodes Web nodes may have connectivity problems externally or with the DB, as a failure model.
01:40 SJr No the good news is that I can actually degrade pretty well without a database so if there is a database or load issue, I could respond with an HTTP 203 - Non Authoritative Information
01:41 SJr I would want the client to try another server and if it can't get an authoritative answer, then oh well.
01:44 SJr However here is where my dilemma comes in. To do this properly each node needs to be directly addressable by the application which means that A) the application has handle failures, and B) we can't just use DNS to resolve the services and C) I'm not sure if I should publish resources for some shared domain that isn't actually where the service is. e.g., if I publish http://microservice.domain.com/resource but the clients need to access server1.
01:44 SJr microservice.domain.com
01:45 SJr Alternatively I could use some kind of a load balancer in between, but then I can't really have the degredation of services that I want.
01:45 SJr e.g., there is no way for me to say, if this request is a 203 try the other server(s)
01:46 SJr also doing things like monitoring individual services is a pain.
02:07 impl have you considered using something like consul, which provides a DNS interface? https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/dns.html
