Golang test task

Vacancy: backend developer of high load infrastructure.

Task

Write a high-performance server that will accept a batch of events, enrich it with data, and write to ClickHouse. Average number of events per batch: 30. Minimal RPS: 200. Events are separated by \n symbol in the batch. Data to enrich: client IP, server time.

Example of formatted payload:

{
  "client_time": "2022-12-01 23:59:00",
  "device_id": "8273D9AA-4ADF-4B37-A60F-3E9E645C821E",
  "device_os": "iOS 16.1.0",
  "session": "bmwRi8mAUypxjpaH",
  "sequence": 1,
  "event": "app_start",
  "param_int": 0,
  "param_str": "some text"
}

Solution

Endpoint: POST /submit.

We recommend inserting data in packets of at least 1000 rows, or no more than a single request per second.

This recommendation is one of the reasons why inMemoryStorage was created.

The library chconn (ClickHouse low-level Driver) was picked for high-performance bulk inserts. Benchmarks

zap.Logger is used for logs instead of zap.SugaredLogger to get even faster logging and fewer allocations.

Run ClickHouse with default configuration without password and expose ports:

docker run -d -p8123:8123 -p9000:9000 --name analytics-clickhouse-server --ulimit nofile=262144:262144 clickhouse/clickhouse-server

Curl for local tests:

curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:3000/submit \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"client_time": "2022-12-01 23:59:00", "device_id": "8273D9AA-4ADF-4B37-A60F-3E9E645C821E", "device_os": "iOS 16.1.0","session": "bmwRi8mAUypxjpaH", "sequence": 1, "event": "app_start", "param_int": 0, "param_str": "some text"}'
