- How to use the service
- Run HttpTraffic.java class
- Logs files are sorted and any new log coming in is in the future with respect to time.
- Reader reads the input from the source line by line into the inmemory buffer and inserts into ArrayDeque.
- Size of the arrayDeque is always maintained to have logs only in the time range of last 2 mins. This way we do not have to store all the logs in the queue which might not be meemory efficient or not even fit in the memory.
- Processor gets the first element from the queue and checks with lastest log timestamp inorder to remove elements from the queue which are older than 2 minutes.
- Processor also checks if the total number of website hits is beyond a maximum threshold and also checks if the number of website hits has fallen below a minimum threshold and alerts the system accordingly.
- As there could be millions of hits on the websites, going with the arrayDeque datastructure might not be memory efficient.
- probabilistic data structures like count-min sketch can be used.
- Java 1.8
- Scalability
- Currently this service is running on a single server, and can take upto 200 concurrent requests. However, in order to handle billion’s of requests, we need to increase servers.
Lets say each request takes 2sec which is the latency (No of concurrent connections per server * No of servers) = Total no of requests per sec * Latency No of servers = (Total no of requests per sec * Latency)/No of concurrent connections per server - Load testing
- Service should continue to have the same latency even if the load on the application increases indefinitely.
- Used a postman collection runner to run multiple requests at the same time without any delay.
