Feature-Implementierungen

1. Load Balancing

APISIX unterstützt 4 Load-Balancing-Algorithmen:

GAL Algorithm APISIX Type Beschreibung
round_robin roundrobin Gleichmäßige Verteilung
least_conn least_conn Verbindung zu Server mit wenigsten aktiven Connections
ip_hash chash Consistent Hashing nach Client-IP
weighted roundrobin + weights Gewichtete Verteilung

Implementierung (gal/providers/apisix.py:247-265):

# Load Balancing
lb_algo = "roundrobin"  # Default
if service.upstream and service.upstream.load_balancer:
    lb_config = service.upstream.load_balancer
    if lb_config.algorithm == "least_conn":
        lb_algo = "least_conn"
    elif lb_config.algorithm == "ip_hash":
        lb_algo = "chash"
        upstream_config["key"] = "remote_addr"
    elif lb_config.algorithm in ["round_robin", "weighted"]:
        lb_algo = "roundrobin"

upstream_config["type"] = lb_algo

Beispiel:

upstream:
  targets:
    - host: api-1.internal
      port: 8080
      weight: 3
    - host: api-2.internal
      port: 8080
      weight: 1
  load_balancer:
    algorithm: weighted

2. Health Checks

APISIX bietet Active und Passive Health Checks mit detaillierter Konfiguration.

Active Health Checks (gal/providers/apisix.py:267-280):

if service.upstream and service.upstream.health_check:
    hc = service.upstream.health_check
    if hc.active and hc.active.enabled:
        upstream_config["checks"] = {
            "active": {
                "type": "http",
                "http_path": hc.active.path,
                "healthy": {
                    "interval": int(hc.active.interval.rstrip("sS")),
                    "successes": hc.active.healthy_threshold,
                },
                "unhealthy": {
                    "interval": int(hc.active.interval.rstrip("sS")),
                    "http_failures": hc.active.unhealthy_threshold,
                },
            }
        }

Passive Health Checks (gal/providers/apisix.py:281-290):

if hc.passive and hc.passive.enabled:
    if "checks" not in upstream_config:
        upstream_config["checks"] = {}
    upstream_config["checks"]["passive"] = {
        "type": "http",
        "healthy": {"successes": 3},
        "unhealthy": {
            "http_failures": hc.passive.max_failures,
        },
    }

Beispiel:

upstream:
  health_check:
    active:
      enabled: true
      path: /health
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 3s
      healthy_threshold: 2
      unhealthy_threshold: 3
    passive:
      enabled: true
      max_failures: 5

3. Rate Limiting

APISIX bietet zwei Rate-Limiting-Plugins:

limit-count Plugin (empfohlen):

# gal/providers/apisix.py:323-332
if route.rate_limit and route.rate_limit.enabled:
    rl = route.rate_limit
    plugins["limit-count"] = {
        "count": rl.requests_per_second,
        "time_window": 1,
        "rejected_code": 429,
        "rejected_msg": "Too many requests",
        "key": "remote_addr",  # oder "http_x_api_key"
        "policy": "local",
    }

limit-req Plugin (Nginx-Stil):

{
  "plugins": {
    "limit-req": {
      "rate": 100,
      "burst": 200,
      "rejected_code": 429,
      "key": "remote_addr"
    }
  }
}

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    rate_limit:
      enabled: true
      requests_per_second: 100
      burst: 200

4. Authentication

APISIX unterstützt JWT, Basic Auth und API Key Authentication.

JWT Authentication (gal/providers/apisix.py:334-352):

if route.authentication and route.authentication.enabled:
    auth_type = route.authentication.type
    if auth_type == "jwt":
        jwt_config = route.authentication.jwt
        plugins["jwt-auth"] = {
            "key": "api-key",
            "secret": "secret-key",
            "algorithm": "HS256",
        }

Basic Authentication:

{
  "plugins": {
    "basic-auth": {}
  },
  "consumers": [{
    "username": "admin",
    "plugins": {
      "basic-auth": {
        "username": "admin",
        "password": "admin123"
      }
    }
  }]
}

API Key Authentication:

{
  "plugins": {
    "key-auth": {}
  },
  "consumers": [{
    "username": "user1",
    "plugins": {
      "key-auth": {
        "key": "api-key-12345"
      }
    }
  }]
}

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    authentication:
      enabled: true
      type: jwt
      jwt:
        issuer: "https://auth.example.com"
        audiences: ["api"]

5. CORS

APISIX verwendet das cors Plugin für Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.

Implementierung (gal/providers/apisix.py:354-365):

if route.cors and route.cors.enabled:
    cors_config = route.cors
    plugins["cors"] = {
        "allow_origins": ",".join(cors_config.allowed_origins),
        "allow_methods": ",".join(cors_config.allowed_methods or ["*"]),
        "allow_headers": ",".join(cors_config.allowed_headers or ["*"]),
        "allow_credential": cors_config.allow_credentials,
        "max_age": cors_config.max_age or 86400,
    }

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    cors:
      enabled: true
      allowed_origins:
        - "https://app.example.com"
        - "https://admin.example.com"
      allowed_methods: ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"]
      allow_credentials: true

6. Timeout & Retry

Timeout Configuration (gal/providers/apisix.py:294-307):

if route.timeout:
    if "plugins" not in route_config:
        route_config["plugins"] = {}
    timeout = route.timeout
    connect_seconds = int(timeout.connect.rstrip("sS"))
    send_seconds = int(timeout.send.rstrip("sS"))
    read_seconds = int(timeout.read.rstrip("sS"))
    route_config["plugins"]["timeout"] = {
        "connect": connect_seconds,
        "send": send_seconds,
        "read": read_seconds,
    }

Retry Configuration (gal/providers/apisix.py:309-341):

if route.retry and route.retry.enabled:
    retry = route.retry
    retry_status_codes = []
    for condition in retry.retry_on:
        if condition == "http_502":
            retry_status_codes.append(502)
        elif condition == "http_503":
            retry_status_codes.append(503)
        elif condition == "http_504":
            retry_status_codes.append(504)
        elif condition == "http_5xx":
            retry_status_codes.extend([500, 502, 503, 504])

    route_config["plugins"]["proxy-retry"] = {
        "retries": retry.attempts,
        "retry_timeout": int(retry.max_interval.rstrip("msMS")),
        "vars": [["status", "==", code] for code in retry_status_codes],
    }

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    timeout:
      connect: 5s
      read: 30s
      send: 30s
    retry:
      enabled: true
      attempts: 3
      retry_on: ["http_502", "http_503", "http_504"]

7. Circuit Breaker

APISIX verwendet das api-breaker Plugin.

Implementierung (gal/providers/apisix.py:371-382):

if service.upstream and service.upstream.circuit_breaker:
    cb = service.upstream.circuit_breaker
    if cb.enabled:
        plugins["api-breaker"] = {
            "break_response_code": 503,
            "unhealthy": {
                "http_statuses": [500, 502, 503, 504],
                "failures": cb.max_failures,
            },
            "healthy": {
                "successes": 3,
            },
        }

Beispiel:

upstream:
  circuit_breaker:
    enabled: true
    max_failures: 5
    timeout: 30s

8. WebSocket

APISIX unterstützt WebSocket nativ über das enable_websocket Flag.

Implementierung (gal/providers/apisix.py:291-294):

# WebSocket support
if route.websocket and route.websocket.enabled:
    route_config["enable_websocket"] = True

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /ws
    websocket:
      enabled: true
      idle_timeout: 300s

9. Header Manipulation

APISIX verwendet die Plugins request-transformer und response-transformer.

Request Headers:

{
  "plugins": {
    "proxy-rewrite": {
      "headers": {
        "X-Request-ID": "$request_id",
        "X-Gateway": "GAL-APISIX"
      }
    }
  }
}

Response Headers:

{
  "plugins": {
    "response-rewrite": {
      "headers": {
        "X-Server": "APISIX",
        "X-Response-Time": "$upstream_response_time"
      }
    }
  }
}

10. Body Transformation

APISIX verwendet Serverless Lua-Funktionen für Body-Transformation.

Implementierung (gal/providers/apisix.py:512-620):

def _generate_apisix_request_transformation_lua(self, transformation):
    """Generate Lua code for request body transformation."""
    lua_code = """
local core = require("apisix.core")
local cjson = require("cjson.safe")

-- Read request body
local body, err = core.request.get_body()
if not body then
    return
end

-- Parse JSON
local json_body = cjson.decode(body)
if not json_body then
    return
end
"""
    # Add fields
    if transformation.add_fields:
        lua_code += "\n-- Add fields\n"
        for key, value in transformation.add_fields.items():
            if value == "{{uuid}}":
                lua_code += f'json_body["{key}"] = core.utils.uuid()\n'
            elif value in ["{{now}}", "{{timestamp}}"]:
                lua_code += f'json_body["{key}"] = os.date("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")\n'
            else:
                lua_code += f'json_body["{key}"] = "{value}"\n'

    # Remove fields
    if transformation.remove_fields:
        lua_code += "\n-- Remove fields\n"
        for field in transformation.remove_fields:
            lua_code += f'json_body["{field}"] = nil\n'

    return lua_code

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    body_transformation:
      enabled: true
      request:
        add_fields:
          trace_id: "{{uuid}}"
          timestamp: "{{now}}"
        remove_fields:
          - internal_id

Erklärung: - traffic-split.rules[].weighted_upstreams: Liste von gewichteten Upstreams - weight: 90: Stable Backend erhält 90% des Traffics - weight: 10: Canary Backend erhält 10% des Traffics - upstream.nodes: Backend Server

A/B Testing (50/50 Split)

Use Case: Zwei Versionen gleichwertig testen.

traffic_split:
  enabled: true
  targets:
    - name: version_a
      weight: 50
      upstream:
        host: api-v2-a
        port: 8080
    - name: version_b
      weight: 50
      upstream:
        host: api-v2-b
        port: 8080

APISIX Config: 

{
  "plugins": {
    "traffic-split": {
      "rules": [
        {
          "weighted_upstreams": [
            {
              "upstream": {
                "name": "version_a_upstream",
                "nodes": {"api-v2-a:8080": 1}
              },
              "weight": 50
            },
            {
              "upstream": {
                "name": "version_b_upstream",
                "nodes": {"api-v2-b:8080": 1}
              },
              "weight": 50
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Blue/Green Deployment

Use Case: Instant Switch zwischen zwei Environments (100% → 0%).

traffic_split:
  enabled: true
  targets:
    - name: blue
      weight: 0    # Aktuell inaktiv
      upstream:
        host: api-blue
        port: 8080
    - name: green
      weight: 100  # Aktuell aktiv
      upstream:
        host: api-green
        port: 8080

Deployment-Strategie: 1. Initial: Blue = 100%, Green = 0% 2. Deploy neue Version auf Green Environment 3. Test Green ausgiebig 4. Switch: Blue = 0%, Green = 100% (APISIX Admin API PATCH) 5. Rollback bei Problemen: Green = 0%, Blue = 100%

Admin API Update: 

curl -X PATCH http://localhost:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $ADMIN_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "plugins": {
      "traffic-split": {
        "rules": [{
          "weighted_upstreams": [
            {"upstream": {"name": "blue_upstream", "nodes": {"api-blue:8080": 1}}, "weight": 0},
            {"upstream": {"name": "green_upstream", "nodes": {"api-green:8080": 1}}, "weight": 100}
          ]
        }]
      }
    }
  }'

Gradual Rollout (5% → 25% → 50% → 100%)

Use Case: Schrittweise Migration mit Monitoring.

Phase 1: 5% Canary 

targets:
  - {name: stable, weight: 95, upstream: {host: api-stable, port: 8080}}
  - {name: canary, weight: 5, upstream: {host: api-canary, port: 8080}}

Phase 2: 25% Canary (nach Monitoring) 

targets:
  - {name: stable, weight: 75, upstream: {host: api-stable, port: 8080}}
  - {name: canary, weight: 25, upstream: {host: api-canary, port: 8080}}

Phase 3: 50% Canary (Confidence-Build) 

targets:
  - {name: stable, weight: 50, upstream: {host: api-stable, port: 8080}}
  - {name: canary, weight: 50, upstream: {host: api-canary, port: 8080}}

Phase 4: 100% Canary (Full Migration) 

targets:
  - {name: canary, weight: 100, upstream: {host: api-canary, port: 8080}}

APISIX Traffic Splitting Features

Feature APISIX Support Implementation
Weight-based Splitting ✅ Native traffic-split plugin
Health Checks ✅ Native upstream.checks (active/passive)
Header-based Routing ✅ Native traffic-split.rules[].match
Weighted Round Robin ✅ Native upstream.type: roundrobin + weights
Dynamic Updates ✅ Native Admin API PATCH (hot-reload)
Sticky Sessions ⚠️ Limited Via upstream.hash_on: cookie
Mirroring ✅ Native proxy-mirror plugin for Traffic Shadowing

Advanced: Header-based Traffic Splitting

APISIX unterstützt auch conditional routing basierend auf Headers:

{
  "plugins": {
    "traffic-split": {
      "rules": [
        {
          "match": [
            {
              "vars": [["http_x_version", "==", "beta"]]
            }
          ],
          "weighted_upstreams": [
            {
              "upstream": {"name": "beta_upstream", "nodes": {"api-beta:8080": 1}},
              "weight": 100
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "weighted_upstreams": [
            {"upstream": {"name": "stable_upstream", "nodes": {"api-stable:8080": 1}}, "weight": 90},
            {"upstream": {"name": "canary_upstream", "nodes": {"api-canary:8080": 1}}, "weight": 10}
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Erklärung: - Regel 1: Wenn X-Version: beta Header vorhanden → 100% zu Beta Backend - Regel 2: Alle anderen Requests → 90/10 Split (Stable/Canary)

Best Practices: - Start Small: Begin mit 5-10% Canary Traffic - Monitor Metrics: Error Rate, Latency, Throughput via APISIX Prometheus Plugin - Health Checks: Immer aktivieren für automatisches Failover - Gradual Increase: 5% → 25% → 50% → 100% über mehrere Tage - Admin API: Nutze PATCH für dynamische Weight-Updates (keine Reload nötig) - Rollback Plan: Schnelles Zurücksetzen via Admin API (< 100ms)

Docker E2E Test Results: 

# Test: 1000 Requests mit 90/10 Split (✅ Passed)
Stable Backend:  905 requests (90.5%)
Canary Backend:  95 requests (9.5%)
Failed Requests: 0 requests (0.0%)

11. Request Mirroring

✅ Native Support: proxy-mirror Plugin

APISIX unterstützt Request Mirroring nativ mit dem proxy-mirror Plugin.

GAL Config: 

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api/users
    mirroring:
      enabled: true
      targets:
        - name: shadow-v2
          upstream:
            host: shadow.example.com
            port: 443
          sample_percentage: 50
          headers:
            X-Mirror: "true"
            X-Shadow-Version: "v2"

Generierte APISIX Config: 

{
  "routes": [{
    "uri": "/api/users/*",
    "name": "user_api_route",
    "methods": ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"],
    "plugins": {
      "proxy-mirror": {
        "host": "https://shadow.example.com:443",
        "sample_ratio": 0.5
      }
    },
    "upstream": {
      "type": "roundrobin",
      "scheme": "https",
      "nodes": {
        "backend.example.com:443": 1
      }
    }
  }]
}

Mit Custom Headers (serverless-pre-function): 

{
  "plugins": {
    "proxy-mirror": {
      "host": "https://shadow.example.com:443",
      "sample_ratio": 0.5
    },
    "serverless-pre-function": {
      "phase": "rewrite",
      "functions": [
        "return function(conf, ctx)\n  local core = require('apisix.core')\n  core.request.set_header(ctx, 'X-Mirror', 'true')\n  core.request.set_header(ctx, 'X-Shadow-Version', 'v2')\nend"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Hinweise: - ✅ Native proxy-mirror Plugin - ✅ sample_ratio für Sample Percentage (0.0-1.0, entspricht 0%-100%) - ✅ Fire-and-forget (kein Response Wait) - ⚠️ Nur 1 Mirror Target pro Route (keine Multiple Targets nativ) - ⚠️ Custom Headers via zusätzliches serverless-pre-function Plugin

Deployment: 

# Via Admin API

        "host": "https://shadow.example.com:443",
        "sample_ratio": 0.5
      }
    },
    "upstream": {
      "type": "roundrobin",
      "nodes": {
        "backend.example.com:443": 1
      }
    }
  }'
