(Active Main) (Failover)
-
⚡ Lock-Free Sampled Eviction (
src/cache/): Eliminates global lock contention under multi-threaded read/write workloads via sharded atomic sampling (inspired by Redis 7 & DragonflyDB). Supports LRU, LFU, and recency-decayed Adaptive TinyLFU algorithms with nanosecond TTL expiration. -
🔄 Multiplexed Connection Pooling & Stream Pipelining (
src/proxy/): Zero-copy streaming pipeline for HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. Reuses keep-alive connections, buffers responses non-blockingly, and transparently caches responses while forwarding payload directly to downstream clients. -
🌍 Consistent Geographic Hash Ring (
src/geo/): Deterministic 64-bit FNV-1a ring with 128 virtual nodes per PoP. Computes Haversine great-circle distance and optical fiber RTT to guarantee key affinity with minimal cache invalidation (<$\frac{1}{N}$ churn upon node changes). -
🛡️ Active Health Prober & Instant Failover:
Out-of-band proactive probe loop verifying TCP and HTTP
/healthz. State transitions gracefully throughHealthy ⟷ Degraded ⟷ Unhealthywith exponential backoff and zero dropped requests. -
📊 Native Observability:
Built-in
/metricsendpoint with Prometheus counters and gauges for hit/miss ratio, active connections, backend latencies, and egress bytes.
