Introduction

AppActive，is an open source middleware that builds a cloud-native, high-availability and multi-active disaster tolerance architecture for business applications. It provides standards, implementations, and demos for applying the multi-active disaster recovery architecture, which is suitable for rich business scenarios (single AZ, single region, single cloud, multi AZ, multi region, multi-cloud, self-built IDC...).

AppActive is an internal open source project of AHAS-MSHA.It is based on Alibaba's nearly 9-year production disaster recovery practice, and combines the best practices of many external customers and communities from Alibaba Cloud's commercial services, and has the characteristics of high reliability and scalability.

Architecture

The overall structure of AppActive covers the data plane and the control plane。It manages application traffic and data in the whole process. As shown in the figure above, the details can be found in the following links:

• Architecture: Introduce AppActive deployment architecture and technical architecture.
• Concept: Introduce the basic conceptual model of AppActive.
• Features: Introduce the features implemented by AppActive.

Quick Start

Prerequisite

The following software are assumed installed:

• docker && docker-compose
• curl

note：this demo contains many applications，please adjust your memory settings to avoid failures。

Experience

Docker Run

1. appactive-gateway: cd appactive-gateway/nginx-plugin -> docker build --build-arg UNITFLAG=center -t app-active/gateway:1.0-SNAPSHOT .
2. appactive: maven build to get the all the jar packages: cd ../../ -> mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip -U
3. appactive-demo: cd appactive-demo -> Run sh run.sh to start all applications
4. appactive-portal: cd ../appactive-portal -> Run sh baseline.sh to push the baseline
5. Bind the local host: 127.0.0.1 demo.appactive.io, visit the browser http://demo.appactive.io/listProduct?r_id=1999 to see the effect
6. appactive-portal: Run cut.sh to cut the stream. This demo supports two cutting methods: ratio and range
   • Commands: sh cut.sh.
   • Note： the rules of the demo are hard-coded. If you want to change the cut flow range, you need to calculate the rules by yourself, and then execute the cut flow.

If you plan to stop the experience, you can proceed: cd appactive-demo -> docker-compose down
