DNS: Old Solution for Modern Problems
Error message
You are not authorized to post comments.Thomas Jackson and Rauf Guliyev, LinkedIn
As infrastructure becomes more complex, dynamic, and diverse service discovery becomes very important.
There are many solutions to this problem (thrift, rest.li, custom-zk, etc.) all of which require application changes which precludes the use of off-the-shelf software.
We have applications at LinkedIn where it isn't practical to integrate with our internal service discovery systems. After some thought we decided that all of these applications do support a common service discovery system: our old friend DNS.
In this presentation, we'll talk about how we implemented a distributed, highly available, eventually consistent service discovery system using DNS written in Go. We'll talk about the design, implementation, and challenges encountered on the way to production.
We'll focus on:
- Architecture
- Extensibility
- Availabilty
- Operability
The Results:
- Significantly reduced complexity
- Dramatic decrease in convergence time
- Ubiquitous service discovery
- Leverage existing DNS infrastructure
