This merge request adds support for read replicas to improve the scalability and efficiency of database read operations by distributing the load across multiple instances. It introduces a random selection strategy for choosing replicas and makes several key updates across the codebase to integrate this functionality.
The changes are explained below.
1. Config Enhancements
The database configuration has been expanded to include support for read replicas using the following JSON structure:
Additionally, a
read-replicas-dsn
configuration option has been introduced to simplify CLI replica setup and integration:2. Repository Refactoring
Database handling in files like
endpoint.go
,event.go
,event_delivery.go
, anduser.go
has been refactored. Instead of directly using*sqlx.DB
, these repositories now rely on thedatabase.Database
interface. This enables dynamic selection between the primary database and a read replica based on the specific needs of the function being executed.3. Feature Gating
The read replica functionality is gated behind a license check to ensure the feature is only available to licensed users.
4. Random Selection Strategy
A random replica selection strategy has been implemented to evenly distribute read operations across available replicas, balancing the load and improving performance. This approach was chosen over a Round Robin strategy or database-level replica management to maintain simplicity and flexibility in the application layer.
These changes maintain backward compatibility while improving flexibility and performance.
