# shackle

High-Performance Erlang Network Client Framework

![Build Status](https://github.com/lpgauth/shackle/workflows/Erlang%20CI/badge.svg)

#### Requirements

* Erlang 19.0+

#### Features

* Backpressure via backlog (OOM protection)
* Fast pool implementation (random, round_robin)
* Managed timeouts
* Multi-protocol support (SSL / TCP / UDP)
* Performance-optimized
* Request pipelining
* Smart reconnect mechanism (exponential backoff)

#### Framework goals

* Reusability
* Speed
* Concurrency
* Safety

## How-to

#### Implementing a client

```erlang
-behavior(shackle_client).
-export([
init/0,
setup/2,
handle_request/2,
handle_data/2,
terminate/1
]).

-record(state, {
buffer = <<>> :: binary(),
request_counter = 0 :: non_neg_integer()
}).

-spec init(Options :: term()) ->
{ok, State :: term()} |
{error, Reason :: term()}.

init(_Options) ->
{ok, #state {}}.

-spec setup(Socket :: inet:socket(), State :: term()) ->
{ok, State :: term()} |
{error, Reason :: term(), State :: term()}.

setup(Socket, State) ->
case gen_tcp:send(Socket, <<"INIT">>) of
ok ->
case gen_tcp:recv(Socket, 0) of
{ok, <<"OK">>} ->
{ok, State};
{error, Reason} ->
{error, Reason, State}
end;
{error, Reason} ->
{error, Reason, State}
end.

-spec handle_request(Request :: term(), State :: term()) ->
{ok, RequestId :: external_request_id(), Data :: iodata(), State :: term()}.

handle_request(noop, State) ->
Data = arithmetic_protocol:request(0, noop, 0, 0),

{ok, undefined, Data, State};
handle_request({Operation, A, B}, #state {
request_counter = RequestCounter
} = State) ->

RequestId = request_id(RequestCounter),
Data = request(RequestId, Operation, A, B),

{ok, RequestId, Data, State#state {
request_counter = RequestCounter + 1
}}.

-spec handle_data(Data :: binary(), State :: term()) ->
{ok, [{RequestId :: external_request_id(), Reply :: term()}], State :: term()}.

handle_data(Data, #state {
buffer = Buffer
} = State) ->

Data2 = <>,
{Replies, Buffer2} = parse_replies(Data2, []),

{ok, Replies, State#state {
buffer = Buffer2
}}.

-spec terminate(State :: term()) -> ok.

terminate(_State) -> ok.
```

#### Starting client pool

```erlang
shackle_pool:start(shackle_pool:name(), client(), client_options(), pool_options())
```

##### client_options:


Name
Type
Default
Description


address
inet:ip_address() | inet:hostname()
"127.0.0.1"
server address (formerly ip)


port
inet:port_number()
undefined
server port


protocol
shackle_tcp | shackle_udp | shackle_ssl
shackle_tcp
server protocol


reconnect
boolean()
true
reconnect closed connections


reconnect_time_max
pos_integer() | infinity
120000
maximum reconnect time in milliseconds


reconnect_time_min
pos_integer()
1000
minimum reconnect time in milliseconds


socket_options
[gen_tcp:connect_option() | gen_udp:option()]
[]
options passed to the socket

##### pool_options:


Name
Type
Default
Description


backlog_size
pos_integer() | infinity
1024
maximum number of concurrent requests per connection


max_retries
non_neg_integer()
3
maximum number of tries to find an active server


pool_size
pos_integer()
16
number of connections


pool_strategy
random | round_robin
random
connection selection strategy

#### Calling / Casting client

```erlang
1> shackle:call(pool_name, {get, <<"test">>}).
{ok, <<"bar">>}

2> {ok, ReqId} = shackle:cast(pool_name, {get, <<"foo">>}, 500).
{ok, {anchor, anchor_client, #Ref<0.0.0.2407>}}

3> shackle:receive_response(ReqId).
{ok, <<"bar">>}
```

## Telemetry
Shackle integrates with the backend-agnostic [telemetry](https://hexdocs.pm/telemetry/) library. See `shackle_telemetry` for the list of telemetry events that shackle can emit.

## Tests

```makefile
make dialyzer
make eunit
make xref
```

## Performance testing

To run performance testing targets you must first start the server:

```
./bin/server.sh
```

Then you can run the `bench` or `profile` target:

```makefile
make bench
make profile
```

## Clients


Name
Description


anchor
Memcached Client


aspike-node
Aerospike Client


buoy
HTTP 1.1 Client


flare
