Project Details

Key Results

• •the service uptime is very high, unless there's scheduled maintenance, basically it always ran.
• •no more psycho manually parsing the ip and confusing the load balancer
• •integrated to internal system, but can also be standalone service library (for future extension)

Challenge

Business is a punching pillow for competitor and local regulation. Our Server often ddosed by competitor, or get censorship hammer. Infrastructure Guy likes to parse the IP & Cname manually like a psycho. maybe acceptable for one server, but it get worse and repetitive when it touch 2 digits.

Solution

I took the initiative and suggested to build automation tools for that. the tools is context aware, beside set on interval, it also knows when the server health needs attention either when getting ddosed or under heavy load. It trigger a warning to our internal system so we can act quickly. manually changing the ip and parsing the dns will take time, thus creating a hole for the load balancer, and possibly interupt a service. even in just seconds.
