⚡ Feature 6: Circuit Breaker ✅¶

Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTIERT Branch: feature/v1.1.0-circuit-breaker Completed: 2025-10-18

Implementation Summary¶

✅ Config Model - CircuitBreakerConfig mit allen Optionen ✅ Kong Provider - Third-party Plugin (warning in docs) ✅ APISIX Provider - Native api-breaker plugin ✅ Traefik Provider - Native CircuitBreaker middleware ✅ Envoy Provider - Native Outlier Detection ✅ Tests - 30+ Circuit Breaker Tests (357 total tests) ✅ Documentation - Umfassender CIRCUIT_BREAKER.md Guide (1000+ Zeilen) ✅ Example Config - examples/circuit-breaker-example.yaml mit 10+ Szenarien

Motivation¶

Fehler-Isolation (Cascading Failures verhindern)
Schnelle Fehlerbehandlung (sofortige Rückmeldung)
Automatische Erholung (Service-Health Testing)
Resource-Schonung (keine verschwendeten Requests)

Configuration Schema¶

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api/payments
    methods: [GET, POST]
    circuit_breaker:
      enabled: true
      # Schwellwert: Nach wie vielen Fehlern öffnet Circuit Breaker?
      max_failures: 5
      # Timeout: Wie lange wartet CB bis HALF_OPEN Test?
      timeout: "30s"
      # Half-Open Requests: Wie viele Test-Requests in HALF_OPEN?
      half_open_requests: 3
      # Welche HTTP Status Codes gelten als Fehler?
      unhealthy_status_codes: [500, 502, 503, 504]
      # Custom Response wenn Circuit OPEN
      response:
        status_code: 503
        message: "Service temporarily unavailable"

Implementation Details¶

Circuit Breaker States¶

CLOSED (Normal) → OPEN (Broken) → HALF_OPEN (Testing) → CLOSED

CLOSED: Normal operation, alle Requests durchgelassen
OPEN: Circuit "gebrochen", Requests sofort abgelehnt
HALF_OPEN: Testet mit wenigen Requests ob Service wieder OK

Kong (gal/providers/kong.py)

# Kong hat kein natives Circuit Breaker Plugin
# Warnung wird in Dokumentation ausgegeben
if route.circuit_breaker and route.circuit_breaker.enabled:
    # Warning: Kong requires third-party plugin
    pass

Use Cases¶

Payment Services: Schutz vor fehlerhaften Payment-Providern
Third-Party APIs: Externe APIs die temporär down sein können
Microservices: Service-to-Service Resilience
Database Services: Schutz vor DB-Überlastung
Legacy Systems: Isolation alter, instabiler Services

Provider Coverage¶

✅ 75% Native Support (3 von 4 Providern)
⚠️ Kong benötigt Third-Party Plugin

🏥 Feature 7: Health Checks & Load Balancing ✅¶

Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTIERT Branch: feature/v1.1.0-health-checks Completed: 2025-10-18

Implementation Summary¶

✅ Config Models - UpstreamTarget, ActiveHealthCheck, PassiveHealthCheck, HealthCheckConfig, LoadBalancerConfig ✅ APISIX Provider - Native checks with active/passive support, all LB algorithms ✅ Kong Provider - Upstream healthchecks, targets with weights, all LB algorithms ✅ Traefik Provider - LoadBalancer healthCheck, multiple servers, weighted LB, sticky sessions ✅ Envoy Provider - health_checks, outlier_detection, all LB policies ✅ Tests - 50+ Health Check & Load Balancing Tests ✅ Documentation - Umfassender HEALTH_CHECKS.md Guide (1000+ Zeilen) ✅ Example Config - examples/health-checks-example.yaml mit 15 Szenarien

Motivation¶

Hochverfügbarkeit (automatisches Failover)
Performance-Optimierung (Lastverteilung)
Horizontale Skalierbarkeit (mehrere Backend-Server)
Service Health Monitoring (Active & Passive)

Configuration Schema¶

Load Balancing Algorithms¶

Round Robin: - Gleichmäßige zirkuläre Verteilung - Use Case: Homogene Backend-Server

Least Connections: - Server mit wenigsten aktiven Verbindungen - Use Case: WebSockets, lange Verbindungen

IP Hash: - Basierend auf Client-IP (Consistent Hashing) - Use Case: Session Persistence, Stateful Apps

Weighted: - Verteilung basierend auf Server-Gewichtung - Use Case: Heterogene Server, Canary Deployments

Use Cases¶

Hochverfügbare REST APIs: Round-Robin + Active Health Checks
WebSocket Services: IP Hash oder Sticky Sessions
Canary Deployments: Weighted (90% old, 10% new)
Heterogene Server: Weighted (nach CPU-Kapazität)
Graceful Degradation: Active + Passive Health Checks

Provider Coverage¶

✅ 100% Active Health Check Support (4 von 4 Providern)
✅ 75% Passive Health Check Support (3 von 4 Providern, Traefik nutzt K8s Probes)
✅ 100% Load Balancing Support (4 von 4 Providern)
✅ 50+ Tests (alle Provider, alle Algorithmen)
